Google prank. Gotta be.
Either that, or they’ll be reviewing their footage and releasing a (probably playful) statement.
Of course, Google blurs it’s face…
It looks like a stick to me. As usual.
Why does he always look like a sock puppet?
Nessie deserves her privacy too, you know.
Oh, wow. An L-shaped blob suddenly appeared in a picture. I wonder what kind of animal that could be.
“On the 13th at 9.45am, I had got my daughter off to school and began to search for Nessie…” she said plainly, as if this activity were normal.
Clearly it was an L-ephant.
How can the shot be considered After when it is date-stamped two minutes in the previous (8:52) from the Before (8:54)?
Did she discover Nessie and time travel?
Those are just screenshots from her phone where she presumably marked up the photos at the times you see.
Swamp gas. I’m certain of it.
Folks, if you’ve been hiding for a millennium, it’s clear you packed all your stats into Stealth, and obviously that’s going to roll over into an ability to make digital photos turn blurry right around you. I can’t even believe we need to discuss this.
The greatest trick Nessie ever pulled was convincing the world she didn’t exist.
An L-usive one, too. With an L-ongated trunk.
Really…that’s your point to make…not that she’s an idiot who can’t photoshop to save her neck, but that she manipulated the before photo after (pun intended)?
Wait, I see it, I see it…
…it’s, it’s a great big dead head.
Isn’t that something!
Okay okay, I can’t take it anymore. It was me practicing my nude backstroke in the loch.
(I’m so ashamed)
But what if it’s a sentient stick?
Would be interesting if there actually is something in the lake. If it’s, lets say, a weirdly shaped piece of petrified wood (with optional air bubble for near-neutral buoyancy) that floats around the lake and shows up, depending on currents and temperature.
