Nessie By Satellite? No!
Posted by: Nick Redfern on April 23rd, 2014
You may have seen a new story at the Daily Mail on the Loch Ness Monster which begins as follows:
“So large that it can be seen from space, it is enough to send shockwaves through even the most cynical Nessie sceptic.
“This shadowy form measuring around 100ft long and seemingly with two giant flippers powering it through the waters of Loch Ness was photographed by a satellite.
“For six months the image has been studied by experts at the Official Loch Ness Monster Fan Club, where excitement is mounting after various explanations for it were ruled out… leaving them to conclude it is ‘likely’ to be the elusive beast.”
While the picture might look intriguing at first glance, it’s actually not intriguing. Nor does it show a Loch Ness Monster. It shows a boat. Want the proof? Here it is…

I think we should all keep an open mind as to the validity of the Apple Satellite Photograph and not ‘rush into any negative judgements’ by any pseudo–scientists from Megadebunks site, as some sort of scientific proof by Metabunk.org . This IS NOT PROOF that the Apple Satellite picture is a fake. In-fact, if a satellite takes pictures of the Moon, should everyone assume it’s a fake? NO! What certain wannabe scientists have done is Photo-shopped the Original Satellite Photograph to make it look like a boat. These sorts of faking the Original Apple Photograph is a reckless, unfounded rush to judgement..
Mr. Greenjeans, ummmm… No one is calling the photo a fake. We are all pretty much saying the interpretation of it as a (100 ft) animal would be dead wrong. Whereas the boat interpretation is downright incontrovertible in this case.
Or did I just fall into a trap because you were speaking sarcastically? 🙂
