Sakon Nakhon's fishy sighting

	It could be one like that one  What makes me suspicious:  Hundreds of people gather  as a fish performs near them.  Let's say it's a fish.  Probably a recent import.
	The fact that the animal is    'not shy around humans'    adds to my suspicions  Claims that it is a native to the lake seem     unlikely: there'd be more than one.  You know, relatives, mother-in-law.

Weird Fish or Hoax?

In March of last year they called it a Naga sighting (first video)
This March it's a "Weird Fish" (Second video-recommend turn down volume).

I  wasn't convinced last year, I'm not convinced this year.  
Think this can be filed along with this January UFO sighting in Sakon Nakhon.

There's an interesting story about the land these houses are sitting on.
