The location was just south of Dores, were beamed from Apple's satellite map app and could only be viewed on some iPads and iPhones

Either Nessie has grown fat or they might have found MH370 :)

One of the big problems you never hear addressed by any of the 'Nessie' hunters is that Loch Ness didn't exist 20,000 years ago. It was frozen solid and under at least a half mile of ice.
It is an interesting photo though.

Looks more like a gigantic catfish to me.

Looks like the wake of a boat.

I wonder if the globull warming alarmists were going nuts warning of the dangers of the end of the ice age 20,000 years ago.

“The image is the first supposed Loch Ness Monster spotting in 18 months, representing the longest drought between reported sightings since 1925.”
I commented on a Loch Ness thread a while back that it’s interesting that every once in a while something like this crops up. There is quite a cottage industry built around “Nessie” there. Seeems it would be to their advantage to keep folks interested and wanting to visit.

The location was just south of Dores, were beamed from Apple's satellite map app and could only be viewed on some iPads and iPhones Of course, Apple buys their imagery just like everyone else does, since the phones and pads lack the ability to photograph from space with any good detail. Which means the original of this image exists somewhere. Such imagery is pasted together from many satellite images, and very likely, this is a boat wake, the boat itself obscured by one of the 'seams' that stitch two images together.
In any case, there should be ample press releases out there to show who Apple buys their imagery from, and the company in question likely would be more than willing to release the original image if for no other reason than to capitalize on some free publicity.

I’m with BulletBobCo. Looks like a boat. You can actually see a rectangle within the wakes.
