On April 29, 2022, the British "Daily Mail" reported that a couple traveling on the shores of Lake Ness took a video of Lake Ness, and the resulting close-up shot showed that a large animal was moving rapidly below the surface of the water!
The clearest video in two decades: Loch Ness Monster Reappears?
The video was filmed by an anonymous couple who were on holiday in the Scottish Highlands, and the couple in their early 50s, who had a more senior photography experience, did not chase the Loch Ness Monster, but they were frightened by a phenomenon that appeared in a video shot high above the lake facing the water.
At that time, the couple was taking a panoramic view of the lake on a high ground about 300 meters from the lakeshore, and suddenly a ripple appeared on the lower right side of the picture, about 150 meters from the shore, which was not obvious at first, but over time, the ripple became an arrow and crossed the water, and there was also a steering behavior.
The unidentified object was getting faster and faster on the water, and the couple's footage also began to focus on the target, and although the couple was not interested in the moving object, they were still very honored after the video uploaded to YouTube was analyzed by many comments.
There are two possibilities for this phenomenon, one is the high-speed movement of the surface of the water, such as the speedboat skimming over the water will form this state, the other underwater high-speed movement of the object, relatively close to the surface of the water, its movement caused by the superposition effect of the water flow caused by this phenomenon.
From the video performance, it is obvious that it is an underwater moving object, but it is difficult to confirm whether the moving object is an animal or other unknown man-made object, although the video is very clear, but because of the lack of use of polarizers, the surface of the water is emitted from the distant sky, and it is impossible to see what animals exist underwater.
However, it is certain that it is possible to easily see the ripples at such a long distance, and the movement speed is quite fast, it is conceivable that if it is an animal, its size will definitely not be small, at least it should be a few meters or even longer.
Loch Ness Monster: A long-standing problem that has never been proven
Loch Ness is a large freshwater lake in the Scottish Highlands, about 37 km southwest of Inverness; Loch Ness itself is part of the famous Caledonian Canal, which is built along a fault zone, only 1/3 of which is an artificial river section, and it looks like Scotland has been cut into two pieces by one knife.
Loch Ness is just to the northeast of this canal, a narrow fault zone lake with a total length of 37 km and an area of 56 square kilometers, after Loch Lomond, the second largest lake in Scotland. Although small, this lake is also the second deepest lake in Scotland due to its peat-rich bottom and reaching a depth of 230 meters, and due to its location in the north of Scotland, the lake water is very cold all year round.
Loch Ness Monster, what is the origin?
Your first impression of the Loch Ness Monster is a photograph left by London physician Wilson in April 1934 when he found an abnormality in the surface of loch Ness when he passed through Loch Ness:
But in fact, according to historical eyewitness records of the Loch Ness Monster, the earliest events occurred in Adonne's Biography of St. Columbus in 565, when the Irish monk St. Columbus and his companions traveled on pictist land and met a local resident who was buried by the Nice River, who explained that the man was swimming in the river at the time and was attacked to death by a "water beast".
Later eyewitnesses were recorded at the end of the 19th century, between 1887 and 1888, when Balnain's D. Mackenzie saw a log-like or boat-shaped object "squirming and churning in the water"; Alexander Macdonald, a stonemason in Abriachan, saw "a large, stubby-legged animal" emerge from Loch Ness, swimming about 50 meters from the shore where Macdonald stood.
After about half a century of silence, it was not until 1933-1934 that the Loch Ness Monster began to have a fairly dense record of sightings:
- 1. April 15, 1933: The Loch Ness Marshals and part-time journalist Alex Campbell witness a whale-like animal while driving on the A82;
- On July 22, 1933, George Spicer and his wife saw "one of the most peculiar animals" crossing the road in front of their car and entering Loch Ness, which, according to them, was 1.2 meters high, 8 meters long, and had a wavy neck, somewhat resembling an elephant's nose, but they did not see their limbs, and the bushes that passed by were pressed down;
- 3. On November 12, 1933, Hugh Gray took a picture of the Loch Ness Monster near Foyers, but it was not known whether it was a negative or underexposed, and the image was very blurry.
- 4. On January 5, 1934, a motorcyclist, Arthur Grant, claimed to have almost hit a creature while approaching Abriacan (near the northeastern end of the lake) at about 1 a.m. that day, with a small head attached to its neck and a large body, and then quickly entered the lake and disappeared;
- 5. On April 21, 1934, the famous photo of the Loch Ness Monster was published in the Daily Mail, which was taken by London surgeon Robert Kenneth Wilson when he was passing through Loch Ness;
......
These sightings span the entire twentieth century and continue into the twenty-first century, and the number is simply difficult to count, and I have only listed some of them. According to the descriptions of various parties and the blurry photos left behind, its features are very similar to those of the long-extinct plesiosaur, so the Loch Ness Monster is often used by mystics as evidence of the existence of dinosaurs!
Obviously, biologists know that if a species's number is less than 50, it is likely that they will become extinct within a few decades (shorter-lived species) or hundreds of years (longer-lived species).
Therefore, biologists do not believe that dinosaurs will continue to exist on the earth in prehistoric form, either becoming bird-like species (the scientific community believes that a branch of dinosaurs evolved into birds) or long ago extinct. But such a high frequency of sightings also put a lot of pressure on British biologists, so in the 60s and 70s of the last century, British folk and scientists semi-officially launched several investigations:
Loch Ness Phenomenon Investigation Bureau (1962–1972)
The Loch Ness Phenomenon Investigation Agency (LNPIB) is a civil society that continuously monitors the lake from May to October with a 35 mm camera with a 20-inch (500 mm) lens, and a 36-inch lens camera on a small island in the lake, which monitors 80 per cent of the lake, funded by donations, but no valuable images have been captured.
Robert Rines Research (1972~2008)
This is a program led by Robert H. Rines of the British Institute of Applied Sciences to scan Loch Ness using sonar, involving scientists including Raytheon and Simrad of the School of Applied Sciences and Marty Klein and Klein Associates of MIT trainees, capturing a vague signal in a scan on August 8, 1972, appearing to be a shaped "highly flexible lateral flat tail". But it is also possible that two fish are swimming side by side with false alarms.
Since then, in 1975, 2001, and 2008, many searches have been conducted, and although there are suspected signals each time, it is impossible to determine what kind of creature it is, or whether it is a false positive with a reflection superposition. However, after 2008, the group abandoned the investigation after believing that the animal might have died.
In addition to Robert Rines' sonar studies, there was operation Deepscan in 1987, but the results were similar, and although large mobile animals were also found, their nature could not be confirmed.
DNA Investigation Operations
In June 2018, an international team of researchers from the University of Otago, the University of Copenhagen, the University of Hull, and the University of Highlands and Islands monitored the lake's waters sampled in Loch Ness, and scientists suspected that large fish could be live sharks, sturgeon and catfish, but no DNA from these fish, nor otters and seals, although eels have a high proportion of DNA.
The principle is this, as long as there is a creature living in Loch Ness, then the skin or scales on its body will decompose in the lake water, as long as multiple areas of sampling and analysis of DNA, you can know which kinds of organisms exist in the lake, or whether there are unknown organisms, etc., but the results are regrettable.
In 2007, a commercial blockbuster film "Loch Ness Monster: Legend of Deep Water" was released, which tells a very warm story, and if you are still childlike, you may wish to watch this blockbuster, but it does not help to solve the Loch Ness Monster.
Regarding the Loch Ness Monster, be sure to mention this news
On March 14, 1994, the Globe and Mail published in Canada, which stunned the world with the news that Christian Boslin admitted on his deathbed that he had used a toy submarine and soft wood to resemble a prehistoric plesiosaur.
In the 1999 book Nessie – the Surgeon's Photo Exposed, which details the photograph, the model was created using a toy submarine, putty, etc., and its participants included Weatherell's son-in-law, Christian Spurling, accomplice Spurling (a sculpture expert), Ian Wetherell (his son, who bought the material for the fake) and Maurice Chambers (insurance agent) played a prank.
Loch Ness Monster: The story doesn't end there
The story of the Loch Ness Monster didn't end with the 1994 news release, and there have been numerous sightings since then, such as the fact that a monster was filmed in Loch Ness in 2002:
Others claim to have filmed monster incidents in 2016:
More recently, a man from Southampton named Steve Charis took a photo taken on vacation in Scotland in September 2019, looking like a big fish water monster swimming across the shores of Lake Ness, which looks large according to the proportions of the scenery:
But apparently this photo did not escape everyone's eyes, because the back lines of this water monster are very similar to a catfish, and the back lines of this catfish are unique, and the prototype of the fish is recognized as a prototype of a catfish caught in Italy in 2018, and A picture after PS processing.
The latest is the water monster incident in April 2020, the couple who traveled to Lake Ness filmed a video of Lake Ness, but it is difficult to explain in PS, there is indeed something underwater, but I don't know whether it is an animal or some kind of mechanical equipment.
There are also friends who speculate that the Loch Ness Monster is just some hot spots created by the local for tourism from time to time, and I have to say that this speculation has a certain truth, and now, it is only to add some talk after everyone's tea and dinner, after all, scientists should have left the scene.
