Man Says He Captured Loch Ness on Film

EDINBURGH, Scotland — The Loch Ness monster is back _ and there's video. A man has captured what Nessie watchers say is possible footage of the supposed mythical creature beneath Scotland's most mysterious lake.

"I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this jet black thing, about 45 feet long, moving fairly fast in the water," said Gordon Holmes, the 55-year-old a lab technician from Shipley, Yorkshire, who took the video Saturday.

Nessie watcher and marine biologist Adrian Shine viewed the video and hoped to properly analyze it in the coming months.

"I see myself as a skeptical interpreter of what happens in the loch, but I do keep an open mind about these things and there is no doubt this is some of the best footage I have seen," said Shine, of the Loch Ness 2000 center in Drumnadrochit, on the shores of the lake.

"My initial thought is it could be a very big eel, they have serpent-like features and they may explain all the sightings in Loch Ness over the years."

Loch Ness is surrounded by myth. It's the largest inland body of water in Britain, and at about 750 feet to the bottom, it's even deeper than the North Sea.

"There are a number of possible explanations to the sightings in the loch. It could be some biological creature, it could just be the waves of the loch or it could some psychological phenomenon in as much as we see what we want to see," Shine said.

While many sightings can be attributed to a drop of the local whisky, legends of Scottish monsters date back to one of the founders of the Christian church in Scotland, St. Columba, who wrote of them in about 565 A.D.

More recently, there have been more than 4,000 purported Nessie sightings since she was first caught on camera by a surgeon on vacation in the 1930s.

Since then, the faithful have speculated about it is a completely unknown species, a sturgeon _ even though they have not been native to Scotland's waters for many years _ or even a last surviving dinosaur.

Real or imagined, Nessie has long been a Scottish emblem. She has been the muse for cuddly toys and immortalized on T-shirts and posters showing her classic three-humped image.

On Thursday, a group of Scottish business owners launched a bid to nominate Loch Ness for World Heritage site status _ though they cited its natural beauty, not Nessie. The Destination Loch Ness consortium must submit the nomination to the British government, which would decide whether to forward it to UNESCO.

The Scottish media is skeptical of Nessie stories but Holmes' footage is of such good quality that even the normally reticent BBC Scotland aired the video on its main news program Tuesday.

it's kinda disappointing.

[SynthethicalY]

I don't think it is real. I am a big skeptic, until I have real proof that it actually exist.

[Everyneurotic]

i'm awaiting the day nessie shows up, he's (or she's?) a rad mofo.

[luxinterior]

I was half expecting Nessie to jump out of the water and bite that lady's head off as she was giving her introduction. It's like, fuck yeah, Nessie caught on tape.

[!@#$%!]

what? some shadow on the water? what a bunch of balls.

unbelievable that they squeezed a 4-minute segment out of that shitty footage.

Well the world affairs are not that important, as such trite.

Do you guys believe in Nessie?

There are most definitely species that we have yet to discover and continue to discover every day; so a 'Loch Ness Monster' has to exist somewhere, right?

i'm skeptical about Nessie, but i totally believe in Bigfoot.

[pokkeherrie]

i knew i shouldn't have watched this... another vague video of some shadow in the water far away in the distance.

Yeah, there are new species, plants & insects mostly, but nothing on the order of a huge prehistoric reptile.

Wha? Although the deep oceans and tallest mountains still hold some mystery, the rest of the planet has been explored...like, practically every square inch of it.///Same reason why Bigfoot its a load of hooey. Although in ancient times, maybe there were some Gigantopithecus species still alive that lived in the mountians of Asia away from people and that's where the legend comes from.

[Trasher02]

It looks quite fake in the video.

thats not true, there are areas that are so thick and hard to get into that go unexplored. They found a new breed of monkey not that long a go.

Oh yeah, AA, you're soooo right, like, duuude...there's like there's soooo many more monkeys && other shit (in, like, general in the deep jungle, ya know) being discovered than plants and insects...it's like the planet of the apes, man, only with monkeys.

& what part of "practically" don't you understand, UFO-boy? I wrote my post specifically to allow for such exceptions.

[ALIEN ANAL]

why do you feel the need to be rude?
what i said wasnt an attack against you, yet you feel the need to insult me..why?

[atari 2600]

And why did you have to (erroneously) categorically write that I was incorrect? Oh yeah, because you're a fucking asshole.

You would have had a valid point if you hadn't wrecked the train to start: "that's not true." Fuck you.

And do please note, dipshit, that I get along with people here just fine went they aren't being assholes out to antagonize me. Again, fuck you, "ALIEN ANAL."

Your passive-aggressive sucker punching was a feeble attempt. Feeble...just like everything else you ever write. Damn, are you fucking stupid? You can't slip shit by me. Let this be a lesson to you. You must be fucking stupid if you still want to quibble over this bullshit when anyone with a brain can see that you were attempting to slag me and that you should have made your point in another way. Learn grammar, you backwoods hick.

And yeah, I'm going off the handle. It doesn't change the fact that you set out to provoke me with how you phrased that response. You wrote that reply without thinking. Read the words someone writes before flying off the handle yourself, UFO boy.

[ALIEN ANAL]

flying off the handle? i just said it wasnt true..i wasnt mad or angry at you. your crazy

[atari 2600]

You're an idiot. I know for sure now. As such, there's no point in arguing with you. But, for the record (& for the third time)...

You wrote:

"THAT'S NOT TRUE..." (implying me) --- and then you made your point about new monkey species being found in the deep jungle...

while all the while ignoring the words (the word "PRACTICALLY" specifically) I had written in the very post you responded to.
Furthermore, I am correct about most new species being discovered being plants and insects, so your point about the new monkey species is certainly also not congruous with the blanket "THAT'S NOT TRUE..." you sounded off with. Fuck off.

[ALIEN ANAL]

oh i get it your the "angry guy" , cool i understand now
as you were...fuck head..oo its fun being angry guy.
