Loch Ness monster on Google Earth? LOL!

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





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!

It's actually Nessie's uncle, Jock

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