I thought polar bears could swim...

Like humans, they can. But try swimming 10 miles sometime.

It is a very good swimmer and spends a lot of time in the water hunting for seals. The polar bear can swim as far as 60 miles without resting and can swim at speeds of up to six miles an hour. It can dive to depths of 15 feet and can stay under water for about two minutes.

Im betting on the aliens.

Sixty miles is nothing for a polar bear. They regularly swim over a hundred and have been doing so for as long as man has been watching them.
