Attempted Alien Abuction caught on Video

I saw this video awhile ago and bookmarked it, when I went to post about it the user had taken it down. I forgot about it, but I recently stumbled upon it on youtube.

It has probably been discussed to death but I do like it, it shows a couple of lads kicking around a football, the ball is kicked down the ally a bit and one of the guys goes to get it, as he goes to get it something from behind a lamp post reaches out and grabs him, something with a very long arm.

Now this was taken on a camera phone and the quality is not the best, plus the zoom on the phone changes the colours of the video which when I first saw it I thought "some editings going on here" but then I thought it is a camera phone and the quality of those isn't that good to begin with. I don't know how to take this attempted alien abduction video, they could have had some one hiding behind the post, but the creature seems to be super skinny for that to make sense, could be computer generated with some kind of overlay to make it look bad quality, I'm sure a video expert could find that out.

The youtube video had a couple of links with it which included a lot of the back story and what has happened to the kids after going public with their video, EXTRATERRESTRIAL ENCOUNTER VIDEOGRABADO IN MÉRIDA and Alien Encounter
Filmed In Mexico? both links have the same write up and the first also has the video.
