Members rudywoofs (Pam) Posted June 3, 2007 Members Posted June 3, 2007 EDINBURGH, Scotland (AP) -- Like tartan, bagpipes, and shortbread Scotland's Loch Ness Monster is as much an emblem as a tourist draw. And now Nessie's back. 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. (Watch the 'monster' footage Video) "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. He said it moved at about 6 mph (10 kph) and kept a fairly straight course. "My initial thought is it could be a very big eel, they have serpent-like features and they may explain all the sightings in Loch Ness over the years." lochness monster story View the actual footage: LochNess Monster footage Quote Pam Meddle Not In the Affairs of Dragons; for You Are Crunchy and Taste Good with Ketchup. If we all sang the same note in the choir, there'd never be any harmony. Funny, isn't it, how we accept Grace for ourselves and demand justice for others?
bevin Posted June 3, 2007 Posted June 3, 2007 singularly UNimpressive, isn't it. A bit of wind-ruffled water and what is quite possibly just two small waves interfering with each other to create a small swell The Loch Ness Tourist Board must be very pleased with the amount of coverage it is getting /Bevin Quote
Woody Posted June 3, 2007 Posted June 3, 2007 Yes, but with a little imagination it would swell to be very impressive. Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.
David Koot Posted June 3, 2007 Posted June 3, 2007 Oh, come now, you two are such skeptics! I can see the shape of the beast from the photo in the news story! (Tried to see the video but couldn't get it to work on my 'puter.) Ha! Some people just never will believe ANYTHING! Dave Quote
Woody Posted June 3, 2007 Posted June 3, 2007 I see that Mr. Koot has great faith. Which on an Adventist Forum is a good thing. Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.
Moderators Nan Posted June 3, 2007 Moderators Posted June 3, 2007 Now come, you sceptics - all you need would be a couple of glasses of what the area is famous for, and you would be as convinced as the guy who took the pictures. (Note - I am NOT saying he had been imbibing!!) Quote
David Koot Posted June 3, 2007 Posted June 3, 2007 Nonsense! I had nary a pint, and I can see Nessie clear as a bell! Quote
Amelia Posted June 3, 2007 Posted June 3, 2007 Ok, I've seen the origional footage and I seen the stabilizations. In the slower film you can actually see something snake or eel like life its head? out of the water. slowed %50 Quote <p><span style="color:#0000FF;"><span style="font-weight:bold;"><span style="font-style:italic;">"Do not use harmful words, but only helpful words, the kind that build up and provide what is needed, so that what you say will do good to those who hear you."</span></span> Eph 4:29</span><br><br><img src="http://banners.wunderground.com/weathersticker/gizmotimetemp_both/US/OR/Fairview.gif" alt="Fairview.gif"> Fairview Or</p>
