Nessie Grudge Match! Naish And Coleman Square Off!

Actually, a friendly exchange. Darren isn't convinced by the photo evidence. Loren isn't sure he isn't convinced. A good time is had by all.

Loch Ness Videographer Has Also Filmed Fairies!

Gordon T. Holmes, the man whose footage of the Loch Ness Monster received so much attention back in late May (see still photo left), has also produced a pamphlet entitled Fairies On Ilkley Moor: the evidence in which he claims to have recorded "images of fairy-like figures". Furthermore, he once thought that he had found a "Plesiosaur Flipper" until a local geologist told him it was a big hunk of rock, and has suggested a "miniature black hole" as a possible explanation for what is seen in his now famous film.

Ah well, there's always the Bosnian Pyramid. Oh wait, that too turns out to have been just a big hunk of rock.

Nessie, Stabilized

Cryptomundo's Loren Coleman is showing various enhancements and stabilizations of the Nessie footage released yesterday. Still not super impressive. You can't really get a size estimate, although the numbers being thrown around seem to have risen from about six-feet long yesterday to nearly 45 feet long today. And, personally, I see neither the "bumps on the head" or "the head emerging from water" that some of the posters on Loren's site mention; I just see a shadow beneath the surface. Nevertheless, it is clearly something alive, not a boat wake, a current borne log, or a confluence of waves.

Anyway, why not? Its a slow day for political news.

New Footage Of Nessie!

From the Yorkshire Post:


A SCIENCE enthusiast from Yorkshire is making waves in Scotland after capturing video footage of what he believes could be the Loch Ness Monster.

Gordon Holmes, from Shipley, travelled to the Scottish Highlands to use new hydrophone equipment in an attempt to eavesdrop on Nessie in the water.


But after spending a day trying to get a sound recording of the monster, the 55-year-old believes he has gone one step further by capturing the creature on camera.


Eugene Plawiuk, who occasionally writes on cryptozoological matters, ought to love this, especially since some people have claimed to see a "fin" in the footage (I haven't). Another sturgeon, Eugene?

Actually, this links to a version of this video without the annoying "flip4mac" thing in the middle of the screen.

Note also that the original is supposed to be two minutes long. Hopefully the raw footage turns up before too long.
