The elusive Loch Ness monster may have been spotted on Google Earth.

British newspapers are reporting that security guard Jason Cooke spotted a mysterious shape in the loch that resembles a sea creature.

"I couldn't believe it. It's just like the descriptions of Nessie," Mr Cooke told The Sun.

However, others have pointed out that the mystery shape looks a lot like a boat.

The image can be seen by entering coordinates Latitude 57°12'52.13"N, Longitude 4°34'14.16"W in Google Earth.

There have been no "credible" sightings of the monster, nicknamed Nessie, for over a year, Britain's Daily Telegraph said.

@ Paul #94 - I'm guessing the boat *cough* "Nessie" is aluminium and so would have high reflectance therefore making it appear solid white.

However, I'm personally more interested in both the strange shapes to the left, and the tube-looking thing about 200m to the right....

How many sea-monsters have right-angled corners? As the others say - it's a boat. A better angle for this story might be the tendancy for people to see what they want to see.
