"LEAVE NESSIE ALONE!!!"
Posted on 04/21/2014 6:43:04 AM PDT by JoeProBono
An Apple maps image of what appears to be a large figure swimming in Scotland’s Loch Ness has reenergized fans of the mythical monster. Two amateur “Nessie” hunters came across the image last year as they scanned smart phone photos from Apple’s satellite map app, according to a report from the Daily Mail.
The photo appears to show a shadowy, finned shape, estimated to be 100 feet long, swimming in the waters of the Scottish Highlands. The eagle-eyed enthusiasts alerted the Official Loch Ness Monster Fan Club, whose members have been consulting with experts in a bid to figure out exactly what was caught on film. “Whatever this is, it is under the water and heading south, so unless there have been secret submarine trials going on in the loch, the size of the object would make it likely to be Nessie,” club president Gary Campbell told the paper.
Campbell discounted other possible explanations for the image, including ripples caused by floating debris or a boat. “We’ve shown it to boat experts and they don’t know what it is,” Campbell said. The image is the first supposed Loch Ness Monster spotting in 18 months, representing the longest drought between reported sightings since 1925.

I agree!
There’s a reference point to a house or some structure in the middle pic...should be easy to compute the size of whatever it is in the water..

Gezz, with all these eyes in the sky even a shy monster can’t catch a break!
97% of Cryptozoologist believe in the Loch Ness Monster, so they have consensus so Nessie must be true.
If you don’t believe in Nessie you are an anti-science denier
If so, it's HUGE, in relation to the boats and cottage on and near the shore!
It’s the USOS Seaview
“Looks like the wake of a boat.”
+1
Use the trees.
Buzz killer..
You don't suppose the map makers like to put "Easter Eggs" in their work like Pixar does do you?
Yes, now that I see your photo, I can look back at the original “Nessie” photo and I can see the boat right there in the middle. It is not as visible because there is no sunlight shining on it.
...but looking at it again, I see there is sunlight on the adjacent trees. So...I don’t know why the boat is not more visible.
I’ve searched the coastline of Loch Ness and I can’t even find the terrain that photo is from.
I found the boat due north of Dores in what looks like a channel.

What landmass is the Nessie photo taken of?
