Loch Ness Monster surfaces on Google Earth

Scottish leviathan spied from space

Ensure Ease of Recovery with Asigra’s Agentless Software

Scotland's Loch Ness is doubtless braced for a stampede of Nessie-spotters after a reader of UK tabloid The Sun provided Google Earth evidence of the existence of the Scottish lake's elusive leviathan:

Loch Ness showing possible Nessie sighting

A closer look (.kmz here) reveals the astounding truth:

A close-up of the possible Nessie sighting

Eagle-eyed security guard Jason Cooke, 25, from Nottingham, enthused: "I couldn't believe it. It's just like the descriptions of Nessie."

Researcher Adrian Shine, of the Loch Ness Project, told the paper: "This is really intriguing. It needs further study."

Sadly, as was the case with the amazing Cardiff Street View ghost, there's always someone keen to torpedo weird and wonderful Google Earth sightings, and other news outlets have suggested that what we have here is actually loch tour boat Ness Express.

Or, possibly, a crashed WWII German bomber? You decide. ®

But we are surrounded by REAL monsters. You only have to look.

Those Reg readers interested in cryptozoology might also be interested in two nests of mighty silver birds that were recently discovered by a Scotsman visiting the south of England, one near Gatwick in Sussex, the other near Heathrow.

FOOLS!

It is clearly the monster - whoever says it is a boat is talking out of their ass. Everybody KNOWS the monster is REAL, boats are NOT REAL.

Those pointing out is a boat really need to get their eyes examined....
