First ever video of The Loch Ness Monster - using a thermal imaging drone - video Dailymotion

The Scotsman

Researchers claim to have captured the 'first ever video' of The Loch Ness Monster - using a thermal imaging drone.  The image apparently shows a large animal on the banks of the famous lake - and could be Nessie, experts say.  It was captured at night using heat sensing drone technology - as part of a recent mass hunt for the elusive creature in Scotland.  Production company Dragonfly Films used thermal imaging tech as part of the hunt - and believe they may have filmed Nessie near the shore.  The project’s producer Tim Whittard said: “These thermal drones allowed us to see the loch in infrared.  ''With this equipment we were able to see immediately if any animal breaks the water’s surface.  “This thermal imaging technology has been available for several years now, and it seems remarkable that no one has yet deployed such equipment in an effort to investigate this mystery.  ''It did detect an unusual heat signature on one of the thermal imaging drones - a large mass near the shore.''  The recent search saw researchers and enthusiasts travel from all over the globe with some coming from as far away as Japan and Australia.  The footage will form the season finale of new TV series ‘Weird Britain’ by Dragonfly Films.  It is expected to be broadcast on television in the UK and released online later this year.

00:11 Welcome to Loch Ness, home of Nessie.

00:15 [ Music ]

00:20 >> Many archaic marine reptiles like plesiosaurs,

00:23 their fossils have been found throughout the UK.

00:27 These are some of the most famous photos, I'm told, of the beast.

00:33 >> This thing just shot through like a torpedo,

00:36 just a wide streak, straight against the waves.

00:38 >> Whale-like, upturned boat-like, anything from about 12 to 15 feet baseline

00:44 and about 5 to 6 feet out of the water.

00:48 >> So a couple of hot spots there could be the castle itself,

00:51 in front of the castle, to the loch side of the castle.

00:55 >> Steve Felton told us that the visibility is good about 10 to 15 feet from the surface,

01:00 but after that, you might be in a different world.

01:03 [ Music ]

01:06 >> I think what I saw must have been at least 12 foot long.

01:13 >> Two larger humps on the left and maybe a third appendage or something.

01:17 That actually fits very well into the paradigm of what people have described here over the years.

01:22 >> You can definitely see two hump-like objects sticking high out of the water.

01:26 It's worth a shot. Let's take the sample and send it into the lab.

01:30 [ Music ]

01:36 >> Man, that looks like it's on the shore.

01:39 [ Music ]

01:52 >> Wow. The sounds of loch nests.
