NESSIE is BACK!

[gordi]

Bloody buggers!


You got me all excited at the prospect of some great new Nessie footage!
(I think the original video and the lack of "knowledge" from the uploader regarding the creature being in the video seemed pretty genuine and worth exploring further...)

There were some doubters (as Nin pointed out in a link on an earlier post...) who stated that the clip at 1'44 in the original youtube video shows the same view as the "Nessie" clip from 3'57 in the same video, only WITHOUT Nessie being present, but it doesn't!!

This is the LAST FRAME of the clip which starts around 1'44 (Note the timestamp of 1'45)...


and
This is a frame from the middle portion of the 3'57 clip, JUST BEFORE "Nessie" makes an appearance (Note the timestamp of 3'57)



The earlier 1'44 clip seems to have been taken from the same drone footage, but STOPS BEFORE the "Nessie" portion of the clip!

Unfortunately the other evidence which Nin referred to earlier (regarding the image of the 1975 drawing of a plesiosaur) IS more convincing.

Upon some further digging...
The 1975 drawing image actually turned out to be a real photograph of a Toy Plesiosaur from the talkingturtle website, as shown in the screen grab below:



If we overlay that Toy image (slightly rotated counter-clockwise) over a close-crop of one of the last frames in the video's "Nessie" segment (with the Nessie part brightened and contrast enhanced) we get the rather disappointing result thus:




It looks like a pretty good match to me... not perfect, but close enough for me to feel that the original video was... uhm... creatively edited, possibly to stimulate more comment/sharing and mention of of the charity featured in it?

I hope that I'm wrong, but....

:(
