Fire up Google Earth and fly to "Loch Ness, United Kingdom" and then go to Lat: 57° 12' 51.82" N, Long: 4° 34" 14.33" W

:shrug:

:lol:

It's in the news too. Looks like boat, but it'd have tenticles...

Image - Google Earth with the object circled. I've included some land mass to give it scale - and at this scale you'd probably expect to see some deck detail if it were a boat. I'm convinced! I'm done! It's the real thing - finally! :scared:

Since when was nessie white?

Why couldn't it be? When was the last time you saw one? :lol:

I'm going to take this as irrefutable proof! Go Nessie!!!



Next... fairies in my garden..... hmmmm... got to love Google Earth.

It's actually Nessie's uncle, Jock:P:D:D:D

He's from the Firth of Forth (or is that the "Forth" of Fifth???):P:D:D

You sound very sure of that. :whistle: Not sure how many elliptical boats I've ever seen...

What I want to know is what are those other objects the red circle bisects?? They look similar, but slightly deeper down:D

It's a rowing boat (the tentacles are oars). Sculling.

I'm not usually given to believing things like this but, you know, I think this ones the real deal. This is the one, THIS IS IT!!! Man, who would have thought. The Loch Ness monster. Of all the worthy candidates out there just beggin for verification; UFOs, big foot, little foot, Heather Graham summoning me from the back bedroom, and it turns out to be Nessy thats not a figment of my imagination. Such a disappointment.

It's a boat and the tentacles are the foam from the wake. The other whitish bit might be a wave wipped up by the wind.

I see 4 flippers/legs, a body and a tail.

maybe you shoudl scour my homeland, in search of massive heards of Haggis, as they roam the plains

:P


i will go insearch of the fabled Aussie Razorback, i believe Wolf Creek is a good place to start

Duncan
Everyone knows that Haggis dont roam the plains, they are a hills creature hence why they have two long legs and two short legs for running around the hills and the only way too catch them is to get them to turn back on themselves, and they end up rolling down the hill into a net!

Which species of haggis....the long furred or spotted??:P:D:D

Yep it's a boat, the epitical shape coming from the sligt angle of the light and the "tenticles" are the white wake behind. I'll go with what ever Duncan says, he's been there :thumbsup:

tlgerdes
27-08-2009, 08:32 PM
Well Barry and I have been there as well, 1976-78. So what does our Nessy experience count for, how come Duncan is suddenly the expert, especially since he doesnt believe in Razorbacks as well.:screwy::screwy:

Omaroo
27-08-2009, 08:54 PM
I'm now thinking that it may the killer Haggis - taken to the waves. Aaaarrgghhhhh!!!!!!

If you changed it to a more lateral view, you can see that whatever it is, it is submerged.

I'm convinced.

Omaroo
28-08-2009, 12:06 PM
Didn't think of changing the angle at the time.... fantastic! There you go! Proof! An answer now required - overgrown underwater Haggis.... or Nessie? Doesn't look like a boat with tentacles to me! :D

AstralTraveller
28-08-2009, 02:14 PM
So what are the green and purple stripes across the lake about? Is Nessie a suffragette?

Ric

Ah ha, yet more proof of the Loch Ness Frog.

28-08-2009, 02:20 PM
hehe... all good in theory - but.

All photos taken by Google are from overhead. Existing topographic map elevation data is used to calculate and show height as displayed in Google Earth. Even if a boat were 50 metres high, Google Earth would display it as flat because topographically a lake (or loch) is, well, flat and would not trigger a reason for the application to show elevation, and the boat is a temporary feature probably not contained on a map....

I still reckon it's an aquatic Haggis though. :thumbsup:

And they reckon I'm a killjoy.

Omaroo
28-08-2009, 02:28 PM
No - all I said is that it could have height, and that because it showed as flat it isn't necessarily true. I still maintain that it is unearthly in origin and must therefore be a Haggis.

toryglen-boy
28-08-2009, 03:05 PM
because Duncan was there a matter of weeks ago, and not over a quarter of a century ago :whistle:

And anyway? who says i dont belive in razorbacks? this is Australia, where any terrifying animal, can quite easily be a stark reality.

:D

Maybe the mysterious object is actually Duncan doing backstroke down Lock Ness on his holiday? The sun reflecting off his highly untanned body? :shrug:

Having spent most of the first twenty years of my life on boats, guess what I'm going to say that's the wash of. If I spent enough time could probably give you make, displacement (guess 4-5 tonnes), hull type (its deep vee), speed (5-6 knots), the list goes on.

How did any newsie ever publish this as Nessie, unless she's onboard driving it!
