NESSIE is BACK!

[BIAD]

Maybe the question should be who was piloting the drone?

Or who did the video editing and stitched all the various shots together.

Well, that would be the start. I'd guess that the drone-owner would either have been in on the fakery
or aware that someone tampered with his footage.

That's assuming deliberate alteration took place.
I think we can assume the expense of using a submerged physical object in the loch is off the table.
It's costly, witnesses to installing an object into thee water would run the risk of spoiling the trick
and there's no guarantee it would bring the desired effects.

There's also the acting to be taken into account. If all of the men were in on the ruse, they sure put
on a good performance. If only one or two acted on the scheme, they've deliberately fooled their
companions.

So we're left with a real unknown object that seems to move underwater was genuinely captured on
film and public imagination has done the rest.

Video manipulation has took place by one-or-more of those taking part in the canoe challenge and
they believed the notoriety would enhance the profile of the charity they sought to help via donations.

Video manipulation has took place by one-or-more of those taking part in the canoe challenge in order
to bring attention to themselves for unknown reasons.

There are seven canoes and in one shot from the Simon Eardley video, eight men in the expedition.
Although one of them remains on land at all times for supply purposes.

Maver's video -like others who filmed the expedition, has been edited in a professional manner and as Gordi
pointed out, music was even 'composed' to accompany the footage.

But if a 'monster' was inserted into the video, the opportunity has to be there to do so. In a surface-reflective
environment where visibility is poor beneath that surface, I'd guess that a straight-down shot would be the best
situation to make sure a photoshopped object could be noticed.

And that brings us to the next puzzle, would it be noticed unless it was pointed out? Then who pointed it out?
