hundreds of volunteers joined on Saturday and Sunday in a two day search of the legendary Scottish Loch Ness monster, in what the organizers described as the biggest search for the elusive “Nessie” in more than 50 years.
The Center of Loch Nesswhich partnered with the volunteer research team Loch Ness Exploration to organize “The Quest”, explained that would use surveying equipment that had not been previously tested in the lake, including thermal drones.
The volunteers, from all over the world, were assigned locations around the 37 kilometer lake long from where they monitored for any sign of “Nessie”, while others got on boats. Also a hydrophone was used to detect acoustic signals underwater.
“We heard something. We hear four distinctive ‘gloops’said search leader Alan McKenna.We all get a little excitedwe ran to make sure the recorder was on and not plugged in.”
He first register writing of a monster is related to the Irish monk Saint Columbaof whom it is said that banished an “aquatic beast” to the depths of the river ness in the sixth century.
