Twenty men with binoculars and cameras positioned themselves around the loch from 9am to 6pm for five weeks, beginning on 13 July 1934. Although 21 photographs were taken, none was considered conclusive. Supervisor James Fraser remained by the loch, filming, on 15 September 1934; the film is now lost.

He took 250 water samples from various depths, hoping to identify the tiny fragments of DNA that skin, feathers, scales and urine leave behind and compared it with known species. Suddenly I was the New Zealander who was going to go hunting this monster using DNA technologies… I hadn't actually done a damn thing yet. I'd just opened my mouth and said we could do it. We then have the two pictures from the other side of the boat which shows a main hump and a smaller hump - claimed to be the head by Frank Searle. The object then seems to move as indicated by the wake being generated. The main observation here is that the main hump of the last two pictures does not look like the main hump of the first four pictures. The last one is semi-circular in form while the first looks like a semi-circle with a smaller semi-circle on top. Once again, Frank doesn't make a comment on this. In fact, he generally does not go into any detailed analysis on his photographs. Why the Loch Ness Monster is no plesiosaur". New Scientist. 2576: 17. 2006.

I've never had that level of interest in any of my other science. My kids, who were about five and eight at the time, and all their friends were really excited by it. Welcome to the land of myth and legend, where the murky waters of Loch Ness are alleged to hide a mystery called the Loch Ness Monster, affectionately known as Nessie. So, put on your detective caps and prepare for an adventure into Scotland's most famous lake!The geographical position is an estimate given I don't think anyone alive knows where exactly he was (but the accounts in Whyte's and Holiday's books helps a lot). The lines show the area where the monster likely put in its appearance. I will elaborate on this in another post but one point made was that the creature looks transparent as if the waves are going through it. I do not think this is totally correct. Where there is spray and water being thrown up then one can see through that but the creature is solid and the shadow extending from it proves this. He added: "For the people who still want to believe in monsters, there is still a lot of uncertainty in our work."

The sighting only lasted for over a minute, but the footage clearly shows an object rising high out of the water, showing at first one large hump, then two humps, and then, disappears completely, showing only the flat surface of the water afterwards." An 8.5metre long orange inflatable boat with 5 grown men in it appeared to disappear, and in the most recent footage of what was actually paddleboarders they appeared to disappear."
