First Ever Picture of Nessie

robbieray · 10-06-2010, 11:49 PM

This was the first ever picture taken of the Loch Ness Monster,

What are your opinions regarding it obviously it's not that clear do you think it can be easily explained? Do you have a plausible explanation for what this could be?

Or do you think this really is the very first ever picture of Nessie?

Let us know what you think and we've added some more pictures more recent ones for your browsing pleasure.

Well that's a decent point Craig but when we look at the statistics regarding the Loch itself:

(1) There is more water in Loch Ness than all the other lakes in England, Scotland and Wales put together.
(2) It is around twenty two and a half miles long and between one and one and a half miles wide, a depth of 754 feet with the bottom of the loch being as flat as a bowling green.
(3) It holds 263 thousand million cubic feet of water which is around 16 million 430 thousand million gallons of water with a surface area of 14000 acres and could hold the population of the world 10 times over.
(4) It is fed by 7 major rivers the Oich, Tarff, Enrich, Coiltie, Moriston, Foyers and Farigaig plus numerous burns, with only one outlet the River Ness which flows 7 miles through Inverness into the Moray Firth 52 feet below the loch surface.
(5) During a heavy rainfall the lochs level has been known to rise by as much as 7 feet and a rise of 2 feet is common place.
(6) The rain catchment area for Loch Ness is so large that a rainfall of just quarter of an adds 11.000.000 tons of water to the loch.
(7) It is said that the loch never freezes and this is true.
(8) Because of the great amount of water in the loch a thermocline lies at around 100 feet down in the loch.The top 100 feet of water alters temperature depending on the weather conditions but below the thermocline the temperature never alters from 44 degrees Fahrenheit. So as the surface water cools in winter and nears freezing point it sinks and is replaced by the warmer water from below. This can cause the loch to steam on very cold days, in fact it as been estimated that the heat given off by the loch in a winter is the equivalent to burning 2 million tons of coal.

It's only fair to say that's HUGE and anything could be luring in there.

We find new sea animals in the sea all the time because it's so big maybe there is something undiscovered in the lochs maybe not a monster but rather some form of BIG fish.

Nessie is the nickname given to the Loch Ness Monster. It is said to be similar to a Plesiosaur, a dinosaur with a long neck, small head and with a feet similar to tortoises.

According to wikipedia, the third image above is:

...after Christian Spurling's confession most agree it was what Spurling claimed – a toy submarine with a sculpted head attached

There are even searches done through out the lake but there's no success in finding one.
