“Monstrous” disturbances have been reported from the depths of Loch Ness.

The Loch Ness Centre has announced a “significant finding” from its Deepscan cruise boat, which employs advanced radar technology to explore the depths of Loch Ness each day.

The radar system has recorded a sizeable reading that has sparked intrigue and speculation among researchers and enthusiasts.

The radar system, specifically designed to detect underwater objects and formations, identified a distinct anomaly in the loch.

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.

The reading on Thursday October 3 at a precise location n57°14.850 w004°31.688, suggests there was a disturbance on the loch bed.

The Deepscan cruise uses advanced 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 been able to provide a detailed understanding of the loch to date.

Nagina Ishaq, general manager of The Loch Ness Centre in Drumnadrochit, 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 Loch Ness Centre encourages the public and enthusiasts alike to join in on the continued search for Nessie following the recent recordings.
