Loch Ness Monster/Boat Spotted on Google Earth

- By - Source : Tom's Guide US

Is it Nessie or just a boat?

Every now and again someone will spot something on Google Earth or Street View and say it's Atlantis, ET or something else highly unlikely. The Sun this week reports that a security guard by the name of Jason Cooke spotted what he says could be the Loch Ness monster, the creature said to inhabit Loch Ness in Scotland.

Looking at the pictures, there doesn’t appear to be much there at all. However 25-year-old Cooke of Nottingham insists, "It's just like the descriptions of Nessie," adding that he "couldn't believe it," when he saw it.

Check out the image below.

What do you think? Boat or boat-shaped monster?

"just like the description of Nessie"?
So the description of Nessie must go like this:
-Nessie looks like a very blurry white boat leaving a measure of wake.
Also, Nessie is best seen from a satellite.

Well done, Jason Kook.

If you believe that, then I have a friend who knows a guy who has a brother-in-law who knows all about the aliens in Roswell.

Obviously it's a giant albino octopus.

Looks like a white boat. I wouldn't discount some bored programmer putting something like that in one day as a joke or something though :D.

It's just a boat. While it's possible some remnants of past eras still exist deep in the oceans depths (honestly we know so little of the ocean) the loch is too small to support any such beast.

it doesnt look like a boat for sure, but i have no idea what could it be.

In google earth it looks just like a boat that measures about 38' without the wake. And the wake looks like a wake if I've ever seen one.

I'm surprised anyone could mistake that for the Loch Ness Monster. It's pretty clearly just a hunter metroid.

It's the cookie monster. As much as this is possibly the Loch Ness monster. At least Cookie monster is real. Just no actual monster.
