Mermaids: The New Evidence
There's a viral video going around Facebook recently.
It shows a quick glimpse of a mermaid/alien looking creature underwater in the deep sea.
Here's the video footage:
Personally, when I saw it, I had to watch it over a few times to analyze it.
Firstly, the video showed a mermaid that looked more like an alien, with huge eyes and a bald head. Which was kinda strange and interesting at the same time. It's a combination of 2 elements I've never envisioned in my mind before. Kudos.

Secondly, the webbed hand on the glass looked really clear on the screen.
Too clear to be precise.
I mean, why was the lighting in bright cyan blue in that area on where the camera focused?
Thirdly, it's quite unbelievable that a spear could be used to catch fish underwater in the deep sea.
The speed of the spear would have been severely be slowed down in deep water, under high pressure.
So after watching the video clip a few times, I was quite skeptical.
I quick search on the net exposed the truth to the video. It was a hoax.
It was apparently a fake documentary made by the producers from Animal Planet.
The producers admitted it was a work of fiction as shown below in an article:

Excerpt from Article:
" People can't get enough of them -- even if it's a hoax! Animal Planet premiered their special Mermaids: The New Evidence on Sunday, May 26, and the staged documentary set a ratings record for the network."
"Animal Planet managed to hook 3.6 million viewers with the special that speculates about the real-life existence of mermaids using actors, according to ABC News. The special is a sequel to 2012's "documentary," Mermaids: The Body Found.

"We wanted people to approach the story with a sense of possibility and a sense of wonder," Charlie Foley, the show's executive producer, told ABC News. "Hopefully that's what 'Mermaids' allowed viewers to do . . . allowed them to suspend their disbelief."
Another lead to add to the hoax, the original hoax documentary: "Mermaid: The Body Found" had an actor by the name of "Andre Weideman"
If you do a quick Google Search on "Andre Weideman"
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1382718/
You'll find his body of work as follows:
Filmography
Actor (8 titles)
2010/II Sweetheart (short)
Ogilvy
Ogilvy
What this means is that he acted in the supposed "Documentary" as a character.
He was not being himself. It also means it's a fake TV documentary.
Here's the Youtube video of Mermaid: The Body Found

"News today, May 31, 2013 revealed that the story was a Mermaid Hoax, which has a declaimer at the end that described the program as ’science fiction’ based on ‘scientific theory.’"
