Koi UFO Video 100 : Creature crawling up apartment building (Daylight)
[DEBUNKED] Koi UFO Video 100 appears to show a huge creature with extremely long legs climbing an apartment building in the daylight.
The earliest copy of the video on Youtube was posted by "DimanOperator" on 28 July 2014 with a title of "Something is crawling on the walls of houses in Samara" (as translated from Russian using Google Translate). That copy has over 2.6 million views as at July 2015. Another copy of the video was posted more recently (on 2 March 2015) by "Daily Paranormal" and that copy had gained approximately 5.5 million views as at July 2015.
In fact, as discussed below, the video was created by Dmitry Kataev of Samara, Russia, using several commercial software packages (specifically After Effects, Boujou and Lightwave). Dmitry Kataev has uploaded several entertaining high-quality videos of huge "monsters", including a monster attaching chasing him and a giant spider living under a bridge in Samara. The captions for several of the videos uploaded by Dmitry Kataev include links to an advertising company that creates animations and 3D graphics. Posts by Dmitry Kataev in relation to his "monster" videos on Youtube acknowledge that he created them using computer image software (specifically After Effects, Boujou and Lightwave). Dmitry Kataev appears to be very talented. I have seen FAR worse special effects in movies broadcast on the Sci-Fi Channel!

Dmitry Kataev was interviewed by the Daily Star newspaper in England about his creation of the video of a creature climbing an apartment wall. A relevant article by the Daily Star reported that "the monster is actually the creation of a bored Russian graphic designer who was unable to sleep". The article reported that Dmitry Kataev stated:
"I woke up early and couldn't sleep, and was looking out the window when it was all still and quiet and I thought to myself that if a huge monster would start wandering around, it was the perfect time as nobody would notice. As I couldn't sleep, I decided to create a monster anyway and uploaded it online. It was really easy, I based the monster on a stick insect with a few modifications, and after that it all went crazy."
