Screaming Penguin - Source Does Matter

Some crypozoologists are a bit more skeptical and methodological than others of course, but when this is the "best footage ever" of the Loch Ness "monster" it doesn't reflect well on the entire, already shaky, "discipline."

Granted I am looking at a grainy online copy, and I do not have a reference from that video for depth perception, but that monster footage looks to me like wind, and later a fish or bird in the same area. I spend a lot of time on the water (and specifically looking at and for wind, fish, and birds), and the entire first half of that video looks exactly like a wind gust on the surface. Then at the end there is a visible wake. What we have is evidence of a disturbance on the surface of a liquid (and the most prosaic explanation for that would be?), and evidence of a small wake on the surface of a liquid (once again many things other than a prehistoric monster can cause a wake).

Disappointing for all the hype. But then again when cryptozoology.com doesn't even know enough to take "giant anaconda" off the list, and put chupacabra ON it, what can we really expect. Harumphh. (And for that matter where is the jackelope?)

And look out for the chupacabras.
