Tsunami spirit creatures hauling ass - Magical Realist - Dec 7, 2024
I've always known about this footage for many years. The thing defies anything kind of entity known to man. And it's moving with a definite purpose. What the heck can it be?

Here's some other tsunami footage showing the same kind of speeding entity:

One of the skeptic explanations is that they're compressed gas tanks that develop a rupture or get their valves or regulators broken off in the event. The escaping gas supposedly drives them crazily over the landscape at high speed.
But the only videos that seem available of incidents like that (in "normal" circumstances) usually involve smaller propane, acetylene, oxygen, argon, etc cylinders -- rather than giant containers. (The latter which I'm purely guessing would tend to explode rather than race like a ground missile.)
The first video below reveals that a cylinder can definitely shoot into the sky like a rocket. The second one shows that they tend to spiral round and round when on a surface.

Here's a third, but filmed largely after the fact:

I've seen the video of the steam clouds being shot up out of floating gas tanks. That's clearly what that is. (see below) In the videos posted these things are going miles straight over the land without stopping or slowing down. That's not a gas tank. The career skeptics need some fresh material.

"A busted propane tank, depending on the severity of the damage, can travel a short distance by the force of the escaping propane gas, which can propel the tank itself slightly, but it will quickly lose momentum and fall due to its weight, while the gas disperses rapidly into the air;"
Thrust is powerful but brief..

Yeah, the small cylinders aren't going to last a mile or kilometer on the ground, and it's difficult to construe how the giant tanks would "travel" significantly as opposed to either blowing up immediately or at some point soon after the rupture.

Since the cars didn't react, I'd suspect it's the water/ground effect of an invisible cyclone being spun off the main storm.

It's moving way to fast. Average speed of a tornado, even an unlikely invisible one, is around 30 mph.
