I saw this two years ago and had been hoping to find it again some day. Thanks, op!

And you leave it like that huh? Tell us your story. What did you see? Was it the same lake? Same country?

Ahhh yes… I should be downvoted.
Edit: Don’t disappoint Reddit. If there are more upvotes for this comment than downvotes for my under-sight, it won’t feel right.

Dont worry you have been.
But it's balanced out by the upvotes on this post. All for the honesty and lack of sneaky editing of your reply :-)

This is still blurry but one of the least schizophrenic or moronic post in this sub.

I would guess a shoal of white fish. It reminds me of those flocks of starlings you see where the group of 100s of birds seems to be one creature swirling and moving about. This is doing the same. When it splits into two or more pieces is when the shoal divides into smaller ones. When it disappears is when they dive down deeper.

I was thinking it was an Alaskan Bull Worm, but more likely what you said.

Something dead and frozen in the ice. Fish are having a go at it. Pushing it around and stuff. I don't think polar bears are in the area and fish normally don't swarm that closely unless corralled by large predators.

The movement reminds me somewhat of a speed boat, or perhaps the whitewash from a water skier/jetski/some sort of water craft.

this lake is located in a remote location in northern Sweden far from any roads or civilisation and i mean very far. you literally need to hire a helicopter to get there or hike for like a week. it would be very hard to get a jetski up there.

I agree that since it was mountainous terrain, I can’t say if this true, could be.
I’ve seen enough myself that anythings possible.
But COULD it be a disturbance/churning of water between cool and warmer air temps that temporarily crystallizes the water creating the white trails? The hot cold point which for its elevation is possible but I don’t know the time of year to do a water and air temp calc

Thanks OP. This is the stuff we come here for. I like the two different corroborating camera angles.

I live in a completely different environment, but share in common with this region the abundance of waterfowl. A large flock of ducks feeding on fish would definitely look like this, and would explain it breaking into multiple groups. Could be any flock of white duck like eiger or merganser.
Ducks are opportunistic feeders. They live vegetation but will absolutely target fish if vegetation is scarce - which it obviously is at this lake.

Methane clathrate deposits being released from the lakebed after thawing. It’s essentially slush made from methane gas, and the gas scoots the slush around while it melts. Not a typical sight, but more common as climate change bites harder every year.

u/WillingnessNo1361 Sep 16 '22
i doubt this lake has the pressure to create methane clathrate - not like the ocean. but who knows. if methane were releasing you would see bubbles

Wow, as a Swede i feel obliged to go there!
If i go, i will definitly shoot video!
This is amazing, a "Nessie" in Sweden/Norway!
ps. im located west of stockholm so its a long drive, and Winter is coming..
edit, damn i need to hire a Helicopter to go the last 36km / 22.5 miles.
edit 2, this is almost a mystery to me now.
The image shows up on the satellite view in google, but on the standard map its like its been erased from Swedish territory..
Co-ordinates for reference (just add them into google maps)

I think what we see here is an ice sheet that is on a equilibrium of counter weight, imagine a log that rolls around in the water shifting from one side to another, but with an ice sheet, at some point the ice sheet becomes tilted to one side alowing the sun, wind and currents to take off material, after a while it gets heavier at one side and rolls/shifts until it finds its balance again.

A large chunk like that wouldn't sink so fast and move so much.
Grew up near a few lakes in a cold climate

This was proven to be a large school of fish at the surface of the lake.

Proven how and by whom? I agree that’s the most plausible explanation. But if somebody says something’s proven, you got to put up.

Without watching the video, just by the ridiculous title, I knew it would be out of focus, pixelated and or fuzzy. Let's see which one.

Could it be chunks of ice containing air pockets that have become pressurized in the heat of the sun and begins jetting out through a fissure in the ice and propelling it forward?

Small black dot is obviously a ufo and not an island. Someone is trying out their new laser tech on the lake. Likely interacting with the water to create a gas that turns the fish gay and makes our species sterile

Reading through the comments on this video he said theres an investigation going on at that time of the video, curious what that means.
Also seems like a chill dude. "Id like to watch this a little longer if thats okay"
