Story summary

Julie Fraser discovered three mysterious underwater figures using Google Earth near Loch Ness, Scotland. She reported her finding to The Official Loch Ness Sightings Register and is awaiting confirmation that this could be the 17th confirmed sighting of the legendary creature in 2023. Fraser claims the objects do not resemble boats due to their arc-like shape, similar to whales, and notes a lack of V-shaped wake, distinguishing them from passing vessels. The image was taken in 2026, though likely depicting recent footage, as evidenced by full-leaf trees visible in the scene. If confirmed, this sighting would mark the third digital report of Nessie since January 2023, alongside fourteen in-person encounters and two webcam sightings logged so far this year according to the official register.
