Loch Ness Monster on Google Earth???

I’m going to file this story under….AWESOME!!! Crypto-enthusiasts are going ballistic about the latest bit of potential evidence for the existence of Scotland’s own Nessie.
Jason Cooke, a reader of The Sun, spotted what just might be the elusive Loch Ness Monster while checking out the Loch on Google Earth. To see the object, enter co-ordinates Latitude 57°12’52.13″N, Longitude 4°34’14.16″W in Google Earth, and zoom in.
Now, let’s be honest. It could be any number of things…a boat with a weird looking wake, or if you really think about it…a scuba diver with a giant helmet? Hehehe
But there is no denying that it takes little imagination to pick out the similarities of the “creature” on Google Earth, to the popular image of Nessie the Plesiosaur.

What do you think? Is it possible that the Loch Ness Monster’s best evidence was captured by a Satellite in outer space? Or is it a trick of the imagination that plays on the hopes of people like myself who just want to believe?
Oh I know you want to believe but it looks exactly like a boat with a wake behind it. Someone was just having a nice cruise around the loch
It does look like a boat,but I’m holding out hope! Nessie…I see you!!!!
It looks like a giant squid, to me. Are there squid in those waters?
Rebecca, the very first thing I thought when I saw this was… It’s a SQUID! I kid you not. Contrary to what many people believe, Loch Ness is not landlocked. It is connected to the Atlantic from both ends. A series of canals and locks connect Loch Ness from the Atlantic to the west but going east from Loch Ness there is several miles of river that join the sea at Inverness.
Salmon, trout, eels, seals and many other animals make their way up the spillway, and predatory animals tend to follow. Sometimes during wicked weather or extreme high tides, very large creatures including small to moderate sized whales wash into the Loch.
I would imagine it very possible that a Squid could work it’s way into Loch Ness,not to mention any number of other crazy creatures.
End Natalina’s Nerd Rant Here.
But for the record, I still think it’s Nessie, dang it!
My first thought when I saw it last night was squid.
Hate to burst your bubble babe, but it’s more than likely a boat. At least according to Steve Alten last night on C2C. Alten also contends that Nessie is more likely to be a giant eel than the romanticized plesiosaur.
I haven’t made up my mind yet, however, I do belive that something is out there.
Will, you’re breaking my heart! I missed C2C last night, but I wondered if they’d address the photo.
I’ve heard the theory about Nessie being an eel. Screw that! Nessie is a relic of the Jurassic era, forgotten by time, destined to swim the channels of Loch Ness…a fugitive of prehistoric proportions…a benevolent creature just trying to survive in this modern world of disbelievers. Shun the non believers! I think Nessie might also grant wishes. At least that’s what I heard
I’ll never let go Nessie. I’ll never let go!
BREAKING NEWS
Initial sighting of Loch Ness later found to be a GIANT SEA SPERM.
On further inspection of the photo, maybe the wrong thing is circled. If the circled object is a boat…which it very possibly may be…what’s that coming toward, or going away from it…down and to the left?
EricBanaSMF, I would hate to see the creature that blew that load! (I can’t believe I just said that and I should edit it but I’m not going to!)
Will, I saw that too! What is that??
I dunno…could be Nessie…;)
Maybe it’s Nessie thinkin’ “Damn that giant squid kinda looks like me!”
lat 57″10’08.00 N lon 4″37’53.59 W there s a boat there smaller but kind of the same wake lines. i think there is something living there but just like the big foot, ogopogo a fully in tacked body will need to be found. kind of a heart stopper when checked it out for myself.
also on lat 57″12’57.11 N lon 4″34’18.62 looks like waves
BULL. SHIT. lmao.
HOPE IS NESSI MY GRAND PA STUDIES HIM HE CAN MAKE A FORTUNE O MG CROSS UR FINGRES PLZ UGLY PEPEOL
It is a boat…
There are a number of boats on the lock, some are stationary and some are moving. All are more distinctive and clearly form the shape of a boat. Of those boats that are moving you will notice a propeller wash which is quite distinctive and some distance behind the boat. You can use Google to examine these. On the image in questions there is “no” propeller wash? It is also strange that the wash from this object seems to emanate from the extensions or would be limbs? Finally, of all the shapes this could form could take is it not strange how this object has four appendages, a large bulk of a body and what seems to be a neck or tail?
Of course that this is a boat…
Look for this picture in Google Earth and look very close…
it would have been a creature of god
I like the idea of something super natural or anything like that living in these realms. However, admitting that nessie does intrest me, i also think rationaly. And a being that, according to legend, has its roots in somwhere around the Jura timeline, would have to be several millions of years old. I simply dont consider that to be possible. Stil, i hope i’ll get to be proven wrong in this matter. Untill then, the legend lives.
It looks like a squid :3
