A RADAR system has recorded a "distinct anomaly" on Loch Ness, sparking intrigue and speculation among researchers and enthusiasts.
The Loch Ness Centre revealed the significant finding from its Deepscan cruise, which employs advanced radar technology to explore the depths of Loch Ness daily.
The radar system, specifically designed to detect underwater objects and formations, identified the disturbance on Thursday, October 3.
While the exact nature of these readings remains under investigation, preliminary analysis suggests they could represent substantial underwater presences or potentially large aquatic creatures inhabiting the loch creating a disturbance on the loch bed.
Nagina Ishaq, general manager of The Loch Ness Centre, said: “These radar readings have raised many questions about what lurks in the depths of Loch Ness. Our Deepscan cruise has consistently aimed to deepen our understanding of the loch’s ecosystem, and this finding shows that there are still many unknows about the loch.
"We are currently working with Loch Ness researchers to conduct further analysis of these readings which hopefully mark a major milestone in the search for Nessie.”
The Deepscan cruise uses cutting-edge technology to investigate the unique underwater environment of Loch Ness. With the use of sonar and radar systems, a hydrophone and most recently a state-of-the-art holographic camera, Deepscan has provided a detailed understanding of the loch to date.
The Loch Ness Centre encourages the public and enthusiasts alike to join in on the continued search for Nessie following the recent recordings. For more information about The Loch Ness Centre, please visit here.
