Holy hell, in 26 years YOU'D THINK the guy would have mounted a couple of video cameras to his boat. If I was 26-years-Nessie-crazy, I'd have thermal, IR and nightvision video monitoring on my boat recording at all times!

Also would think 5-10 minuets he could have traveled toward it if it were a mile off.

I believe that the author of the «"Surgeon's" Photo», stated that the image was faked. I think that after that (even if false or due to external pressures), the image should be considered outside of being evidential or relevant to future investigations.

The article says that the photos went to a US military monster expert for verification. Didn't know there was one of those.

What do you have to do to get that job???

Not really a comment,but a source of information.

This pic is resemblance of this,knowing that the lake is land locked and all.
I know,you don't have to say it.
It's not a whale.

Nessie would have to be small as there isn't a whole lot in the loch for a monster to live off of. there wouldn't be enough fish.

Although a seal does swim on the surface sometimes, you usually only see a head. Swimming like this they are not as hunched above the surface as the picture he took.

Does anyone think that there is a perception of some height in that picture, we are definitely looking down at the waves on a subject that is barely moving water in a fairly tranquil body of water, and that it is supposed to be 'perhaps' a half-mile away. It seems to make a conflict of perspective versus the given tale.

It is a log.

How this is any evidence after a 26 year wait is beyond me. There are better photos than this already in existence. I am seriously bummed out as Nessie is one of my favorite make believe monsters.

That seriously looks like a Bowhead whale.

thread about bowhead whales

I believe these whales use the lochs as a nursery for their babies. It's the right size, shape, and color. We know very little about them. Their exceptional life spans would explain the lack of proof. They may not give birth very often, and would therefore not be in the loch.

I think Nessie legend will shortly become Nessie truth. In the form of a big honking bowhead whale in the most unlikely place.

FYI, Bowheads live their lives under ice mostly. If any of these lochs do have caverns to the ocean, a Bowhead might be the one animal to find them, and enjoy them.

Adult Bowhead whale

Bowhead at surface at complete rest

The angle is different but I think it looks similar. Possibly even a hoax picture of a known Bowhead whale.

I went on vacation to Loch Ness when I was a kid. One day, as we were driving along a road next to the Loch I saw something large break the surface. I wound the window down and took some shots. When we got home and sent the film off to be developed it mysteriously got "lost". I never saw the photos. True story.

I'm not suggesting there's a conspiracy, BTW. But I'm still convinced I saw the monster.

That is a possibilty if Bowheads could traverse the river Ness, and it also goes with the first sightings of Nessie being in the river Ness, but as you say they are big, very big, on the other hand they are not big feeders either.

It may just be me,but this just seems like a ploy to get more business. That photo proves absolutely nothing.It could be anything. Given what the guy does for a living I'm not surprised he's claiming it's Nessie.Wake up people.

If they are adult or baby Bowhead whales someone needs to figure that out. They're endangered and I would rather not have them in boat propelers. Although I'm not sure how much a boat in that river could do to a 60 foot whale. The whale might break the boat.
