Of course, the Internet has been abuzz with theories about what the creature could be.
If you look at it closely, it looks like a normal kid wearing shorts on his head in only underwear ????

Some shared possible explanations
You can see someone in the house stick their hand out the window at couple seconds before the video ends. Looks like a puppet of some sort to me

Others called the video a prank, citing a second reflection that could be seen in the frame
Yeah definitely a reflection. You can see his ears and it moves away at the same speed.
