This one. It’s just some really bad CGI.

To be exact, swamp gas from a weather balloon got trapped in a thermal pocket and refracted the light from Venus.

This is weird. They claim that the video was shot in Portugal but the guy talking is using Brazilian Portuguese with an accent that sounds Paulista to me. He’s saying “What the fuck dude, I told you there’s something there, at your direction, look. What the fuck man. And we gotta head back to Bauru today”. If it was filmed in Portugal by tourists the usual speak would be "we’ve got to go back to Brazil today - or to Sao Paulo (the State where Bauru is located). The casual way they are talking would be more like if they were at some point between MInas Gerais and Goiânia, on a road trip. It takes some four to five hours to cross the states borders. Which would explain the “we need to get back to Bauru today”.

It’s like when I’m in the house at night and I’ll glance out the window into the pitch black night…all I can think is there something standing there watching me too… awww fucking hell

How hard must it be to take grainy video in this day and age? Is there a special store for cryptid enthusiasts that still sells VHS camcorders?

“Well, this one is only 720p…”
“Not good enough. Cheaper.”
“This one has a colour depth of…”
“CHEAPER!”
“I found a webcam from 2001 in a box underneath a pile of Windows Me discs.”
“Perfect!”

Ah, the elusive mediocre CGI monster. The wily beast is usually seen at a distance, though a shaky, blurry camera…

Arms are a bit long, but the gait and general demeanor fit.
