The Loch Ness monster sighting on Apple Maps is causing too huge of a stir online as netizens try to come up with a more 'logical explanation' to the bizarre form taken by the tech giant's satellite imagery since experts to this hour, do not really know what the strange form is.
The Telegraph reports that the Loch Ness monster has been the most elusive creature such that since its inception in the sixth century, no one has really spotted the form of the legendary monster except for unreliable and doctored photographs and faked footprints claiming that the beast is real.
However, this past few days have been very different after some people claimed that an Apple map satellite may have captured an image of a shadowy form of the Loch Ness monster, which is believed to be around 100 feet in length.
"We've been looking at it for a long time trying to work out exactly what it is," President of the Official Loch Ness Monster Fan Club, Gary Campbell told Daily Mail. "It looks like a boat wake, but the boat is missing. We've shown it to boat experts and they don't know what it is."
According to the New Zealand Herald, 26-year-old Andrew Dixon was the first one to notice the form of the bizarre floating creature in the Scottish Highlands.
"It was a total fluke that I found it. I was looking at satellite images of my town and then just thought I'd have a look at Loch Ness," Dixon said, adding, "The first thing that came into my head when I saw it was, 'That's the Loch Ness Monster.' It was the shape of it I thought it had to be something more than a shadow."
Dixon, who happens to be a charity worker for the Great North Air Ambulance for Darlington, County Durham then prompted Campbell of the Loch Ness monster sighting.
Now, after six months of reviewing the material, Campbell and his club concluded that the shadow is quite possibly the Loch Ness Monster.
"Whatever this is, it is under the water and heading south, so unless there have been secret submarine trials going on in the loch, the size of the object would make it likely to be Nessie," Campbell said.
Amid the many speculations that the sighting is fake, Campbell firmly believes that the image is as close as finally getting a glimpse of the beast for the first time in history. He even dismissed other possible explanations, claiming that the form could be a floating log or a seal causing large ripples.
Metro reports that three sightings of the Loch Ness Monster in 2013 were all denounced as fakes - the first one was revealed to be a duck, another was said to be a wave, and the last one wasn't even taken as any type of beast for that matter.
