Nessie will always be the classic.I remember mysterious monsters it was Bigfoot, yeti,Loch ness. And I was happy to hear we had our own ness with champ.love to look for all of them but I wouldn’t know what to do if I came face to face with them.I’d hate to be in the water and have ness or champ rise up next to me.them again I once heard that if your lost in the woods you should hug a tree the idea being that if you stand still you won’t miss the search party.but hugging a tree to a Bigfoot means your young willing and able.
I remember in the seventies ottsman story being in readers digest with pictures.I was 7 and from that day on I was hooked
Nessie will always be the Holy Grail, but Champ is closer to home and within striking distance of a week long hunt…
Scotland’s going to require saving a few more pop cans…
In this day of satellite imaging one would think that Nessie could be spotted from viewing those type of images. Possibly even bigfoot, if someone was wealthy enough to finance one for this purpose (a billionaire). I think though the randomness of sasquatch and the fact they move moreso at night would make Nessie an easier target. Simply have the satellite trained 24 seven year round on the Loch.
@William — That won’t work, for several reasons.
(1) If you want a single satellite to always be “over” Loch Ness, it would have to be in geosynchronous orbit, but that is much too far away for any good imaging. I don’t think the US government will find it worthwhile to launch a series of spy satellites just to watch Loch Ness.
(2) Scotland is known to have clouds now and then.
(3) If you want to look on visible wavelengths, you have the problem of night. Like most cryptids, Nessie is conveniently assumed to be primarily nocturnal.
(4) On the other hand, if you’re looking in infrared and Nessie really is a giant eel or giant salamander, you wouldn’t get a signal.
No matter how you slice it, the best you could hope for would be ambiguous results of the type we already have, so you would be better off just positioning cameras on towers around the lake. The footage would still have to be monitored, but you could probably crowdsource that.
