I enlarged the inage and ran it through some edge contrast filtering

I then noticed the right angle at the rear of the object...

I did another Pass using another filer..and noticed the very brounded front...of the object

the animation is included to hilghlight those areas mentioned

the lighter tones..appear to be...the small wake one would expect to see in conjunction with a water craft!

I just can't get away with anything.

I totally agree. It looks like some sort of boat’s wake, with the boat having been digitally cancelled. Maybe Apple was using some sort of technology to reconcile multiple frames of the same location? Nessie was supposed to be a serpent, not a giant catfish.

That makes sense, so it can't be true.

I'll come clean here. My plecostomus grew too large for the 70-gallon tank and I let it loose in Loch Ness. Think pythons and the everglades.

The fish store owner said they grow to fit the size of the container.

I first tried to find the shore location, with its distinctive pattern of deciduous, cultured pines, roads, and cleared land near the shore on Google Earth -- but had no luck with a quick search. I was trying to get a hi-res view so I could scale the "Nessie" WRT houses, roads, etc. Bottom line, the "nessie" object probably approached an acre in overall area.

So -- I "played around with" various enhancement tools and multi-layer channel transparency masks, and this is what I think I see:

A few years back, a colleague and his wife rented a big "cruising houseboat", and cruised the entire length of Loch Ness. This object is very nearly the same size and shape as their big houseboat...
