Loch Ness Monster sonar

Loch Ness Monster sonar, A grainy photo taken of a long, blob-shaped object on a sonar "fish finder" is proof that the legendary Loch Ness Monster is real, a boat captain claims Skipper Marcus Atkinson says he recorded the strange object "following" his boat at a depth of 75 feet, when he snapped the shot of his sonar scanner For thirteen years, Ike participated in numerous scientific investigations at Loch Ness, Scotland, searching for the famous "Nessie". He is a member of the Academy of Applied Sciences, which sponsored many of these expeditions. Although he spent many long, cold nights drifting down the 25 mile long lake, the local hotels and townspeople couldn´t have been more hospitable, particularly the Drumnadrochit Hotel.

Utilizing sonar, underwater photography, dredging and just plain visual observation they managed to catch glimpses of some large creature in the Loch. For example, the underwater photos below recorded a huge moving object on film- it was also captured on sonar at the same time.More details on the 1972 Academy of Applied Sciences survey can be found in this article.

Ike has written about Nessie in two articles which appeared in Communications Technology Magazine, Nessie and Other Monsters and Science at Loch Ness. A brief history of the Loch ness story is found here.

Ike often speaks in front of schools and other audiences on the trials and tribulations of a Nessie Hunter. Read these two newspaper articles about his travels, one from the Star Ledger, and the other one from The Home News.

The BBC claims it has proved that Nessie the plesiosaur  does not exist. What they did was use satellite navigation technology to aim 600 separate sonar beams through Loch Ness to ensure that none of the loch was missed and found no trace of the monster. The research team hoped their instruments would pick up the air in Nessie’s lungs as it reflected a distorted signal back to the sonar sensors. The only signal they got was from their test buoy moored several meters below the surface.
“We went from shoreline to shoreline, top to bottom on this one, we have covered everything in this loch and we saw no signs of any large living animal in the loch,” said Ian Florence, one of the specialists who carried out the survey for the BBC.* The show, called Searching For The Loch Ness Monster, was made for BBC One.

A cruise company is to fit sonar equipment to its flagship boat in case it passes over the Loch Ness Monster.

Jacobite – Experience Loch Ness has been demonstrating the search gear at VisitScotland Expo 2007 at the Royal Highland Centre in Edinburgh.

The company has had a fake video made of Nessie swimming across a sonar screen to illustrate how it would work.

The equipment will be fitted to the Jacobite Queen which takes tourists on cruises around the loch.

Freda Rapson, owner of Jacobite, said: “We’ve taken a genuine sonar scan and, with the help of technical experts, added what every visitor to the Loch hopes to see – Nessie.

“It’s been a while since the last sighting of the Loch Ness Monster. That could be about to change, though, now the Jacobite Queen’s got sonar aboard.”

‘Circus elephant’

Unexplained sightings of “something” in Loch Ness date back to the 6th Century.

Various theories have been offered to what the monster could be.

They include it being from a group of extinct marine reptiles called plesiosaurs, which used two sets of powerful flippers for swimming.

They came in two varieties – one with a small head and very long neck, and another with a large head and short neck.

In 2006, a scientist suggested the monster may have been an elephant.

Neil Clark, curator of palaeontology at Glasgow University’s Hunterian Museum, spent two years researching Nessie.

He said sightings could have been of circus elephants, as fairs visiting Inverness would often stop on the banks of Loch Ness to give the animals a rest.
