Proof That the Loch Ness Monster Exists?
Fox News ^ | August 26, 2009

Posted on 08/26/2009 3:12:15 PM PDT by Sopater

This amazing image on Google Earth could be the elusive proof that the Loch Ness Monster exists.

Sun reader Jason Cooke spotted "Nessie" while browsing the Web site's satellite photos.

The shape seen on the surface of the 22-mile Scottish loch is 65ft long and appears to have an oval body, a tail and four legs or flippers.

Remove the words latitude and longitude from the search.

There is something there. There also appears to be something to the west.

I cannot tell anything about what those somethings are.

An image analyst would probably tell you that the large shape is a boat. The main long trail off the center of the rear is the turbulence from the propeller, the other four trails outward from the track of the boat (upper leftwards) are probably wake lines off a distinctive hull having ridges/bevels...... just a guess....

Boaters?

Any kind of speedboat that would make a wake like that?

Any one should be able to see it is nothing but a small boat leaving a wake behind. If you don’t know what I am talking about go to any lake and watch the motorboats.

Criminey!

That flat back looks like a transom to me. The rest of it looks like wake. I don’t know about the identical but smaller shape on the starboard aft though.

Now that I look a little harder, those two lines on both sides are probably trolling lines.

It looks more like Cthulhu coming out of the water...

But this is Google Earth / Maps. They always put small easter eggs everywhere. Just go look at Mt. Fuji from a decent distance from space and it'll look like it has erupted and scorched the country side. I wouldn't trust Google. :)

With that said, I love Google Earth / Maps. :)

It’s a boat.
Bow waves on the sides, stern waves off the side-stern junctions, prop wake.

It is pretty safe to say all boats with an outboard look a lot like that

A boat with 4 fishing lines out and the propeller going.

My dad swears he saw the Loch Ness Monster in 89 on the south side of the lake. He also admits he had 6 tumblers of Scotch, neat, and an Amaretto just before she showed up.

“This is really intriguing. It needs further study,” said researcher Adrian Shine, of the Loch Ness Project.

More funding please.

Loch Ness is deeper in some places than the North Sea.

those two lines on both sides are probably trolling lines.

Considering the size, could that be the research boat, towing side planing radar/sonar arrays, looking for Nessie?

So they can see trolling lines on a boat from space? Tooo funny.

Next guess.

If you have to put a question mark after ‘Proof found’, then you haven’t found proof. More evidence, perhaps, but proof, by definition, affords no question.

The big blob is a boat, fer shure. The small one? Considering the UK’s immigration policies, I’d guess it’s a group of Somalis getting their pirate hats on.

Thanks for the ping to an entertaining thread.

The thing that gets me about the creature stories is that you can't just have one of something roaming an area. To produce just one you need a critical mass of population to sustain itself over time. One last "survivor" could not have made it over the span of time Nessie has been "sighted."

Hey, I am with you. My point was one of simple logic: proof affords no question else it is no proof.
