Twelfth sighting of Loch Ness monster puts 2019 on track to be a record year

The famed monster in Loch Ness, Scotland has apparently been spotted for a twelfth time this year, putting 2019 on track to become the year with the most sightings this century. The sudden glut of Nessie sightings comes at the same time that a professor leading a major scientific study of Loch Ness has suggested that Nessie ‘might’ just be real.

The latest sighting occurred just last Thursday when Richard Cobb of Bradford, England claimed he saw something break the surface and cause disturbances in the water for as much as 90 seconds while he was staying at a holiday lodge near the Craigdarroch Inn., “I’ve been coming to Loch Ness since 1992 and I know what a boat wake looks like. But there were no boats around when this thing surfaced…I never believed in Nessie – but now I’m not so sure. What I saw was just weird.

Meanwhile, Professor Neil Gemmell of the University of Otago, New Zealand, and his team have taken water samples from the loch from three different depths on their research vessel Deepscan, collecting DNA left by all creatures from their skin, scales, feathers, fur and faeces.
