CNN: New Loch Ness Monster Video

CNN: New Loch Ness Monster Video

www.cnn.com

An amateur scientist has captured what Loch Ness Monster watchers say is among the finest footage ever taken of the elusive mythical creature reputed to swim beneath the waters of Scotland's most mysterious lake.

"I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this jet black thing, about 45-feet (15 meters) long, moving fairly fast in the water," said Gordon Holmes, the 55-year-old a lab technician from Shipley, Yorkshire, who took the video this past Saturday.

Rarely do we see mention of sightings on MSM but apparently the BBC thought the quality of the video was so good they even carried this on their evening News on Tuesday.

I went to the BBC website and clicked on the video however I clicked on Windows Media which according to the pop up window would not work for me. Can someone see if they can get a link using Real Media and post it so members of ATS can view it and discuss it. Link is first link below.

Caption reads Link


Here you go direct link to WMV feed

I tried both links and was unable to get the actual video of this. Any youtube or google video links?

EDIT: The windows media link works, the video quality of the link is quite poor, and you can't make out anything thats worthwhile seeing IMO.

It is BS, the Loch Ness monster must be over a 1000 years old lol, he is as real as the tooth Fairy.. People have done multiple readings with Sonar equipment and there is nothing..
if there is anything on film it will be a hoax.

Meh, it could've been anything. The guy himself offered the explanation of an Otter or even a Dolphin as it was just a couple dark streak travelling against the current. One streak was small then the other and they were joking it was the son of Nessie trailing along. Nothing conclusive I'm afraid.

here's a direct link. perhaps it will work for you.

I just edited the post above and it noew includes a link to the WMV video of the BBC show.

The direct link just sends me to a blank screen.

lol, it is worse than the old pics...
total BS.. ?

Make sure you have java enabled at first it would not work for me, But I followed the directions and presto I could get the direct link.

Well, yeah it could be anything.
The reporters and what's-his-name say that the object in question moves with great speed, but there's nothing in the video to accurately compare it to.
And since whatever it is never really surfaces above the water, we have no real way of knowing.
It could be some creature just as easily as it could be a log partially sticking out of the water and creating a wake as the current moves around it.
I want to believe in the concept of the Loch Ness monster as much as the next person, but this does nothing to sway my opinion and hardly does any good to dispute the nay sayers.
Good find though.
At least it shows diligence on the part of Shots.
Good looking out Shots.

There was some good footage some where up here on ATS.
I don't know if it was a hoax or not, but it showed something fairly large just beneath the water that went under a tourist boat.
Does anyone know where that footage went and whether or not it was a hoax?

Sorry Shots, I think some dude beat you to the punch and broke the story earlier today.

Man, I hate it when that happens.
(because it's happened to me a few times)

That was not sub mitted as news while this was hence it is allowed to be in two areas of ATS

CNN just ran the video and it looks much better on a full sized screen. Both reporters commented they believe in Loch ness more now then Sasqwuatch (sp)

Oh, okay.
Well, good for you then.
I was just trying to be helpful.

So, is there any convincing (by convincing, I mean clear and concise) footage of Nessy around?
Or is all of it speculative?

Like I said, I'd really like to believe, but until I see something concrete, I'll just fantasize.

I was really hoping to see a head pop out.

I was a bit disappointed, but none the less its nice to see that Loch Ness still has something left in it.

Good find.

Who is to say it is the same creature? It is more than likely, if it does exist, that there are more than one so it stands to reason that it would have generations of offspring.

Again, as we see with so many (if not all Crypto Videos) of these videos its from huge distances, its Blurry and out of Focus, Its nothing to special to begin with.

It could be literaly anything.

Nothing more to see here.

Come back next year when the next log floats out into Loc Ness and the locals make a video of it.

I read somewhere that Nessie(s) is just a big eel. Eels keep on growing throughout their life. Most eels have a relatively short life span and only grow to be a few inches long. A small number of eels can live for a long time, and thus can grow to a length of several feet. If this video is not a hoax, it supports the over grown eel hypothesis because the object in the video appears to be like a large eel.

This would have to be a freak cartoon like Eel. People have to be seeing the same Eel for decades.

I think its along the lines that its either hoax or simple people, with simple minds.
