    This is a sequence of photos taken by Chie Kelly in late 2018 on the edge of Dores beach, Loch Ness. This full sequence of 71 photos were thought lost forever, but recently rediscovered and stitched together by Buttons from the Cryptid Factor to make this video. Given the stills were taken on a high resolution camera with great meta-data and depth of field - we can clearly see movement in the water by some type of 'creature'. Is it Nessie? Tell us your thoughts.

    Fascinating! As an ecologist I'm racking my brain on this. What gets me are those odd white patches that seem pretty clearly delineated from the rest of the 'body' as it were, and the distinct textural differences between some smooth parts and others appearing very bumpy or even spiky, which counts out any cetacean to me. Imgs 9061 and 9062 are the most compelling and strange to me. Whatever it is, it's something interesting for sure. Great work on this Buttons!

      I'd say that given it's impossible to tell what it is... then it _must_ be an alien species, probably from the Crab Nebula, who's ship crashed in around 1894 (October most likely) and has since set up home in the loch.
      I'd say based on the physical observations you made that it almost certainly lives in a crack somewhere under the water where it spends its time listening to skiffle records and writing to Points of View.
      It's the _only_ explanation that makes sense based on what's in these pictures and anyone who says otherwise doesn't know how to science good.

    Thanks for showing the footage and not adding daft eerie music. This is what sets you apart from the americanised outer limits wannabes. Informative, with no added mercenary influencer vibes. This is some exciting stuff, in some shots it has almost crocodilian features but in others, that smooth globular form, I got chills (they're multiplying). What would it cost to have some locked off high-def motion-activated wildlife cams trained on some areas of the loch? Might be worth thinking about with the "Theory of everything else" and "Jumanji" money you've got burning holes in your pockets. Keep up the amazing work, looking forward to the next episode, I'm assuming the incredible Buttons has earned his place in the credits now, or is just funnier to leave him hanging? Keep watching the skies/lochs/oceans/woods/jumanji sequels

    The subjects don't appear to be very large. A lot of the shapes (like the 'domes') just look to be disturbed water captured in fluid motion. Others look like they could be glimpses of mating fish or eels thrashing around one another, momentarily just beneath and just above the surface. The photographer said The motion looked to be zig zagging. The 'head' shape is striking but could IMO be two or more fish captured close together, with the lack of contrast appearing to merge them and creating an optical illusion.

    Here's an idea One of the longest monsters is actually a prehistoric salamander that used to roam in Scotland? Salamanders can have flippers, they can also withdraw oxygen from water through their skin. In the prehistory the salamander were large. Has anybody tested the water for salamanders in the lake loch Ness? It may be looking for the wrong thing this may be a giant prehistoric salamander that was thought it'd be extinct. Also here's another thought salamanders don't need a mate to reproduce certain species can reproduce it without an opposite sex mate make survivability even greater with a low population.

    As an optimistic skeptic, I'm really trying hard to rationalize what I'm looking at, but if this is all a single organism then it could be some type of undiscovered species or a biological anomaly. The skin looks too rough and reptilian to be an eel, otter or sea lion. The darkness in the water trailing behind makes it seem like it has an enormous body, but my logical side thinks it could possibly be a school of fish that are being preyed on by at least one group of aquatic species.
    I'd like to know how deep the water is at that location. If it is fairly shallow, then I'll stick with my skeptic theory. But then again we have yet to see a full body. Maybe it's serpent-like enough to travel like that in the more shallow areas of the loch.
    I recall years ago someone posting on youtube a video from Lough Foyle where some students were shooting a short film on a boat. They captured footage of a huge creature swimming past them as it was descending back into the water. I remember a lot of people in the comments section thought it was a hoax, but their theories were too ignorant to agree with. The texture of its skin was fairly similar to whatever this is. I think if you use search keywords like Lough Foyle and lake monster you should be able to find it.

    If this were any other lake in the world, people would see some relatively small fish swimming near the surface. But since it's loch Ness, they are transformed into a mysterious, massive unidentified creature, captured in some of the 'best' footage yet of the loch Ness monster. Incredible.

    It reminds me of the time in 1977 a Japanese trawler hauled up a creature from the depths of the Pacific ocean, and everyone thought it was an extinct aquatic dinosaur, until they somebody realised it was a decomposing Basking Shark. Well the sequence of the photos above tells me this is the same, an animal decomposing, and the main species in Loch Ness feeding on it Eels. That is why you can see a commotion in the water. Another reason for this theory, is that the object appears to be something, one second and something else the next second, it cannot be everything rolled into one, but it could be if it was decomposing flesh, as the Japanese fishermen discovered to their dismay.

    The skin looks much too rough for a dolphin. Plus the humps, confirmed by numerous photographs.

      The bouy was left over from a prototype wave energy machine that was anchored out there for about a year.
      The machine was one tenth the actual size of potential production models, the theory being that the waves in Loch Ness are about one tenth the size of the waves that the production models would be expected to experience.
      There used to be four moorings, the other three have disappeared over the years.

    It looks very small in regard to the many eyewitness accounts of the Loch Ness Monster, and there is no resemblance of their descriptions to this object, which is more than puzzling. I can't say I'm convinced by these images. These sequence of photos is far harder to explain, is it 1 object, is it 2 objects, is it no object. Sorry the jury is out on this. Chie Kelly said she saw this movement 250 metres away from the shore, I would imagine you would have a hard time trying to see something small like this 250 metres away, and especially something you can't identify or relate to.
