Just like it found the lost city of Atlantis, Google Earth has now supposedly found the Loch Ness monster according to a bored security guy looking through images of on mapping software.

According to British newspaper, The Sun, "Sun reader Jason Cooke spotted "Nessie" while browsing the website's satellite photos."

"Nessie" can be supposedly found at co-ordinates Latitude 57°12'52.13"N, Longitude 4°34'14.16"W in Google Earth which is downloadable to your PC or Mac.

Sighting have been claimed for years with some researchers believing that a sea monster still lives in the lake, although previous scans have proved futile.

Could Google have finally solved the mystery? Or is it just another mapping artefact or overly large plastic bag?

  • Looks like a powerboat with a wake to me! Although it could be a lost flying saucer. Posted by Clint, UK
  • Somehow I don't think, if it exists, the Loch Ness monster would be white:) Jepp – looks like a power boat Posted by misund007, United Kingdom
  • it looks like a squid Posted by shaun, england
  • It's looks like an Alien. Maybe a Mother Ship. Maybe an Armada of Space Aliens about to take over the World.

    Well, I for one am relieved. Finally. 'I Welcome You Oh, Octopus like Leader'

    Or, maybe it's just the stupid Loch Ness Monster - like usual.

    Sigh...

  • As much as it could be a Squid ( wouldn't that be cool) I say its a boat with a wake behind but I wonder if they meant the other object to the left? Posted by 80sOgre, Australia
