Is it an alien or a mythical beast? Bizarre video of an unknown figure creeping through the desert baffles internet users

BIZARRE footage shows a mythical beast creeping through the Portuguese desert, conspiracy theorists claim.

Viewers are divided as to what the creature could be, with some claiming it’s an alien, while others claim it’s a relative of Big Foot.

In the strange clip, the unknown being appears to move through the derelict wasteland.

The figure, which resembles Gollum from Lord of The Rings, almost completely blends in with its surroundings.

After the camera sweeps around to give viewers a full look at the landscapes, it attempts to re-focus on the creature.

Weirdly, when it zooms back in, the beast is nowhere to be seen.

Since the strange clip was posted to YouTube channel Alien Sightings, it’s been viewed a staggering 204,000 times.

One commenter insisted that the mystery figure is the chupacabara, a legendary creature that is believed to originate from Puerto Rico.

Others have assured that it must be an extra-terrestrial being or a relative of Big Foot.

One viewer claimed: “It looks like a starving big foot”, while another insisted it was an “alien”.

Even though the footage has sparked debate online, not everyone is convinced by the theorists’ claims.

One YouTube user said: “Extremely poor camera quality. I don’t believe it.”

Another agreed: “Funny how you can never get a clear picture of these so-called alien sightings.

“Hard for anyone to believe them when it happens all the time.”
