Found this fun article via Fark:
I checked and Google Maps shows the same pic.
Put this into the search box on Google maps, look for the green arrow and zoom in.
+57° 12’ 52.13", -4° 34’ 14.16"
(FTR, I think it is a fun pic, but I don’t believe it proves anything at all.)
For some reason, the thought of the Google being the entity to actually photograph the Loch Ness Monster is not that surprising of a thought. It seems right.
I scrolled down after the pic and saw Michael Jackson.
Ugh. Far scarier than Nessie could ever be.
It looks like a sea monkey.
ETA: Ugh, you have to download google earth to access it? No thank you.
Jet ski.
Ho-hum.
Well, no… as mentioned in my OP, Google maps shows it as well. I even gave coordinates and instructions…
No, I mean to access google earth. I thought that google earth was just a website, like google images or videos.
ETA: Though on google maps I’m still not seeing the Loch Ness monster. I saw the picture on the article, though.
No, it is a desktop program. I worked with it in a past job, found it interesting as a toy, but agree that there is no need to download it if you have no interest.
Google Maps is the online version of Google Earth. Just click “satellite” to see the picture, like this.
They even have Street View available there for a better look.
It’s clearly a boat. There’s a flat edge at the back.
Yeah, it’s a boat and its wake. Glaringly obviously so.
Oh, that obvious boat is supposed to be Nessie? I thought those white squiggles 200 feet to the west of the boat were her.
Security guard Jason, 25, of Nottingham, said: “I couldn’t believe it. It’s just like the descriptions of Nessie.”
Security guard Jason needs to get on a boat. He needs to observe the shape of the boat and shape of the wakes it creates. Because as it stands we have observations being made by someone who is clearly completely unfamiliar with them.
As to the Sun, they need to get a clue and perhaps an actual journalist. Given the economy here in the US I’m sure you could find one available for import if for some reason they are no longer found on that splendid isle. A single call to any fisherman in Scotland would have provided the necessary response, “Aye, what you have there is a boat.”
The Sun has I believe the second highest circulation of any English speaking daily newspaper and its owner is a very, very rich man. He and it have a clue. The clue is: if you focus on entertainment and not facts you make more money.
Ha! You guys have no imagination. Can’t you see the tail? Can’t you see the flippers? It’s nessie I tell you, She’s real and this proves it!
Looks like Great Cthulhu going for a paddle.
I’m cross-posting this tonight to Y!PP. The photo is clearly Cephalopod.
I don’t understand how it’s supposed to look like Nessie? The monster of myth is kind of long and slender. This shape is, well, boat-shaped. What am I meant to be seeing?
It’s a yeti.
