Hunters. we re using new technology, we ve been dropping hydrophones off the side of the boat this morning and yesterday morning and been listening to some interesting sounds, we don t know the origin, we don t know what s causing them. when s the last time there was evidence or any semblance that nessy is there, is it the one photo we saw or what more are you going on. if you and your listeners want to find out the origins of that photo, you ll have to go to the center. faking nessy has been a sport over the decades but there is science out there and one of the most recent ones that was 2020, one of the boats on loch ness detected something on the sonar, about the size of a transit van, that was a real contact. we can t explain what that was. so that just tods the mystery and just adds to the mystery.
