The mystery of the Loch Ness monster is still intrigued. An image taken recently has been identified as the “first potential observation” reported this year.
The Loch Ness monster is a legendary creature. It is described as resembling a sea snake or a plesiosaur, a giant marine animal of prehistory. Since the 1930s, many curious people have been regularly going to the Scottish lake to hope to see this creature get out of the waters. They are also encouraged to share the images taken on site, which could make one think of an appearance of the monster. And this has recently been the case, as reported The Loch Ness Center.
A photo was transmitted to them, showing a “large dark mass”, seen just below the surface of the water from Dores Beach. The witness described this observation as “part of the body of the nessia submerged underwater”. It would have lasted several minutes, given the ideal conditions of the day. The surface of the water was calm and motionless, making the visibility perfect
This observation was examined by The Loch Ness Center, which said it was the first potential observation of the monster they got to know this year. Nagina Ishaq, director general of the center, said: “We have made many observations over the years, but this recent observation has been particularly captivating. The conditions on the day of this observation were absolutely perfect. This could very well be our first significant observation of the year, further supplying the mystery surrounding the Loch Ness and its most famous resident”.
The center of Loch Ness again calls for all volunteers to share their observations: “that you want to capture intriguing sonar surveys, identify unusual disturbances on the surface or notice models in the natural behavior of the lo, we would be delighted to hear your news,” added Alan Mackenna, specialist in the exploration of Loch Ness.
The center undertakes “to resolve the mystery of Nessie once and for all”. To achieve this, he works alongside international partners in order to deploy new research methods and technologies. They now use hydrophones and a Sonar to explore the depths of the lake. From May 22 to 25, 2025, the Center proposes to bring together individuals and organizations for collective exploration.
