Marine Robot Finds Monster at Loch Ness

Marine Robot Finds Monster at Loch Ness

     A new underwater sonar-imaging investigation into Loch Ness has uncovered the remains of a monster.

Led by Kongsberg Maritime and supported by The Loch Ness Project and VisitScotland, the mission using Munin, a state-of-the-art intelligent marine robot, has revealed new information about the elusive 230 metres deep loch, uncovering areas underwater that have never been reached before.

Within the findings, 180m down on the loch bed, Operation Groundtruth has uncovered a recognisable creature. However, although it is the shape of Nessie – it is not the remains of the monster that has mystified the world for 80 years but more one that has inhabited the loch for over half that time and is a star of the silver screen.

The finding is in fact that of a 30-foot Loch Ness Monster model from the 1970 film, The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes, directed by Billy Wilder and starring Robert Stephens and Christopher Lee. [...]

'Loch Ness' Monster Video is 'Authentic'

'Loch Ness' Monster Video is 'Authentic,' says Iceland Commission

    The Icelandic commission has recently ruled the video of mythical 'Loch Ness' sea monster captured in 2012 to be "authentic." The peculiar video seems to show an enormous scaly creature swimming through the lake water and was shot through a window by Hjortur E. Kjerulf in February 2012, Metro.co.uk reported.

The giant serpent, Lagarfljotsormurinn, has been the subject of folk tales since the fourteenth century.

The footage rapidly went viral, being viewed eight million times, and the local area council set up a 'truth commission' to decide whether it was real. It narrowly voted that the video was authentic, which means that wins a prize of 2,700 pounds.

Nigel Watson, a paranormal expert, said that they are like the aquatic version of UFOs. . . .

Monster Rare Yellow Hypergiant Star Discovered

     A gargantuan star, measuring 1,300 times the size of our sun, has been uncovered 12,000 light-years from Earth — it is one of the ten biggest stars known to exist in our galaxy. The yellow hypergiant even dwarfs the famous stellar heavyweight Betelgeuse by 50 percent. While its hulking mass may be impressive, astronomers have also realized that HR 5171 is a double star with a smaller stellar sibling physically touching the surface of the larger star as they orbit one another.

ANALYSIS: Monster Survey Telescope Dives Deep Into the Lagoon

“The new observations also showed that this star has a very close binary partner, which was a real surprise,” said Olivier Chesneau, of the Observatoire de la Côte d’Azur in Nice, France. “The two stars are so close that they touch and the whole system resembles a gigantic peanut.”

This recent observation was made by Chesneau’s team using data from the ESO’s Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI) in Chile. They have built on sixty years of observational data to realize that the primary star in the binary system, HR 5171A, is going through very rapid changes, indicating that it has entered a very short phase in its life cycle. . . .

Bigfoot in Maine? 10-Foot-Tall ‘Wild Man’ was Killed in 1886, Newspapers Reported

10 Foot Tall 'Wild Man' - Waterville Sentinel 10-8-1886

Editor’s Note: This story contains passages from newspaper reports 127 years ago that today might be offensive to some readers. The intent is to accurately reproduce the accounts from that time period.

     WATERVILLE, Maine — In the same month the Statue of Liberty was dedicated in New York in 1886, a handful of newspapers in New England published stories about a deadly encounter in the Maine woods involving what today likely would be termed “Bigfoot” or “Sasquatch.”

The story of the 10-foot-tall “wild man” with 7-foot-long arms and hair growing all over his face and body was reported in broadsheets of the time after first gracing the pages of the Waterville Sentinel, a weekly paper that no longer exists. The Waterville Morning Sentinel was established 18 years later in 1904.

Tales of these seldom-seen, mysterious apelike beasts are found in Maine folklore, according to experts, but they are more prevalent in California, Washington and Oregon tales. Online searches yield hundreds of similar stories from around the globe.

The Maine story starts in early October 1886 when “an affrighted Frenchman from over the line” arrived in the Elm City to weave a frightening tale of woe, according to an excerpt from the Sentinel published in at least two other papers of the era, the Wilton Record and The Industrial Journal of Bangor.

“The Frenchman’s story, which is implicitly believed, is that three men were camping out in the woods about a hundred miles north of Moosehead Lake,” the 127-year-old newspaper articles state. “Two of the campers were away from the camp for a week and came back to find the dead body of their companion.”

The unnamed storyteller, possibly a Canadian, “had his fellows in town all by the ears” with the story about the giant wild man he encountered in the dense woods above Moosehead, according to the papers. . . .

      A marine science instructor snorkeling off the Southern California coast spotted something out of a fantasy novel: the silvery carcass of an 18-foot-long, serpent-like oarfish.

Jasmine Santana of the Catalina Island Marine Institute needed more than 15 helpers to drag the giant sea creature with eyes the size of half dollars to shore on Sunday.

Staffers at the institute are calling it the discovery of a lifetime. . . .

Mysterious Creature Washes Ashore in Spain 8-15-13

      Residents of Villaricos were baffled last week, when a strange-looking sea creature washed ashore a beach in the southern coastal town Thursday. The mysterious carcass has been called everything from "horned sea monster" to a "mutant fish."

After a beachgoer reported the unusual find, authorities pulled the remains of the estimated 13-foot creature further onto the beach and cordoned off the area. According to ABC de Sevilla, the carcass exuded a strong odor and appeared to be in a state of decomposition.

María Sánchez, the civil protection coordinator for nearby Cuevas del Almanzora, speculated that mysterious marine animal may have washed in from somewhere near Africa.

"It has the shape of a snake," she described to ABC. "It's similar to a dragonfish that allegedly comes from Africa and could have been dragged by the current." . . .
