A recent sighting of "Nessie"

Nessie hunter George Edwards has waited 26 years for this sight, and he now believes he has the best picture ever taken of the Loch Ness monster. He spends around 60 hours a week taking tourists out on his boat Nessie Hunter IV, and has led numerous Nessie hunts over the years. But this image has convinced him that there really is a monster - or monsters - out there. It shows a mysterious dark hump moving in the water towards Urquhart Castle. After watching the object for five to ten minutes, Mr Edwards said it slowly sank below the surface and never resurfaced. 
If that thing is moving, the waves would suggest to me that it is moving away from the castle.

    Someone buy Mr Edwards a zoom lens, please!

    Not exactly an unbiased source?

  3. Regardless of it it real, the bias will always be on it being not real. However, we can look at measurements made by CERN, and assume it is something, by ruling out what it is not. That is how science works. And it is accepted. People don't laugh about it. We assume it is real. Yet the same science seems to be ignored with these types of photos. Scientists are not brave. They can say whatever they want to without fear of ridicule, so I think this man deserves the respect of someone brave enough to come forward without ridicule. None of us would have, even if we had a 10 minute video and it jumped on our boat.

      This man makes a living off taking tourist out to see Nessie, nothing brave about it. He's just trying to increase business.

  4. 26 years as a Nessie hunter and yet no one on the boat has a zoom lens or a video camera?

    As it should be. The burden of proof is on the person making the claim.

    I don't think this photo constitutes proof of the Loch Ness monster.

  6. I thought years ago the original photographer admitted on his death bed that his photo was fake. You would think after all the science expeditions that included sonar, something would have "turned up". It makes a great story, but show me something more.

  7. EVERY camera has a video feature now. Where is the video? No video, no proof!

  8. Why would the creature raise to the surface, leave its hump out the water for 5 to 10 minutes then go back down? i could understand raising its head for air but just its hump. i doubt it
