Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:01,930 --> 00:00:04,690
It's one of the most idyllic lakes in
the world.
2
00:00:06,990 --> 00:00:11,470
But for centuries its dark waters have
been thought to hide a deadly secret.
3
00:00:14,930 --> 00:00:20,250
A massive unidentified species famously
known as the Loch Ness Monster.
4
00:00:23,970 --> 00:00:29,889
Despite alleged photos, video, and
thousands of eyewitness sightings, I
5
00:00:29,890 --> 00:00:31,940
over my right shoulder and there she
was.
6
00:00:32,570 --> 00:00:36,230
Many people believe that Nessie is
simply a fairy tale.
7
00:00:38,370 --> 00:00:42,290
But what if there actually is an unknown
animal living in Loch Ness?
8
00:00:43,430 --> 00:00:46,510
Can we combine enough information to
profile the creature?
9
00:00:48,870 --> 00:00:54,709
In our attempt to find out if Nessie
does exist in some form, we've taken a
10
00:00:54,710 --> 00:00:57,120
dive on alleged sightings throughout
history.
11
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:04,818
We've closely examined its habitat, and
we've studied potentially related
12
00:01:04,819 --> 00:01:07,840
species for clues as to what the monster
might be.
13
00:01:10,020 --> 00:01:16,199
Now, we'll reveal a brand new look that
just might bring us closer than ever to
14
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,920
identifying this possible unknown
creature.
15
00:01:19,700 --> 00:01:26,479
And finally, we'll enter the depths to
see for ourselves, and have a
16
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,950
potential history -making encounter of
our own.
17
00:01:32,039 --> 00:01:36,320
As we continue in search of the Loch
Ness Monster.
18
00:01:40,260 --> 00:01:44,280
Our profile of the Loch Ness Monster
continues to evolve.
19
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:50,879
It started like this, the classic image
from the 1930s. Before long, we added
20
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,240
new features based on more recent
encounters.
21
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:57,140
But just as important as the monster's
physical appearance,
22
00:01:57,870 --> 00:02:00,710
We've also built a key theory about its
behavior.
23
00:02:01,450 --> 00:02:04,190
What if the creature is migratory?
24
00:02:05,270 --> 00:02:09,689
We haven't yet been able to confirm
whether the monster can come and go from
25
00:02:09,690 --> 00:02:13,970
loch, but there's a chance that the
evidence may have already been found.
26
00:02:14,750 --> 00:02:20,369
The remains of a massive, unidentified
creature, nearly an exact match for
27
00:02:20,370 --> 00:02:25,270
Nessie, washed up from the waters of
Scotland, not far from Loch Ness.
28
00:02:32,110 --> 00:02:34,350
This is the island of Stronsay.
29
00:02:35,710 --> 00:02:40,409
Located due north of Inverness, it's a
quiet and peaceful place for a seaside
30
00:02:40,410 --> 00:02:41,460
getaway.
31
00:02:42,130 --> 00:02:48,489
But as zoologist Jeff Swinney will tell
us, on a summer day in 1808, visitors
32
00:02:48,490 --> 00:02:50,310
were met with a terrifying sight.
33
00:02:51,710 --> 00:02:55,090
A fishing boat noticed something.
34
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:59,819
Their attention was drawn to it by the
screaming gulls that had gathered around
35
00:02:59,820 --> 00:03:03,800
this carcass, which had been washed onto
some rocks.
36
00:03:04,180 --> 00:03:05,640
It was big.
37
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:11,820
It was smelly. This was nothing like
anything they'd seen before.
38
00:03:12,660 --> 00:03:17,320
The fishermen who had discovered the
carcass, a man by the name of John
39
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,980
approached it with a group of locals.
40
00:03:19,981 --> 00:03:25,429
The island dwellers were familiar with
the occasional beach whale or shark
41
00:03:25,430 --> 00:03:27,960
carcass that could wash up on the
Stransay shores.
42
00:03:28,930 --> 00:03:33,670
But this was something very different
and very, very big.
43
00:03:37,110 --> 00:03:42,069
What they found on the beach was an
animal with a relatively small head,
44
00:03:42,070 --> 00:03:47,630
about a foot long, and then a body which
extended 55 feet.
45
00:03:48,270 --> 00:03:49,590
And they measured this.
46
00:03:50,010 --> 00:03:52,300
So we know that the measurement was
accurate.
47
00:03:53,130 --> 00:03:59,190
About a quarter of the length of this
appeared to be neck, made up of
48
00:03:59,390 --> 00:04:06,329
And then the rest of the vertebral
column going off tail, there appeared to
49
00:04:06,330 --> 00:04:08,350
three pairs of legs.
50
00:04:08,770 --> 00:04:15,389
And the whole body was covered in what
appeared to be matted fur, with a mane
51
00:04:15,390 --> 00:04:17,810
fur running down the back of the body.
52
00:04:20,269 --> 00:04:22,499
This must have been an extraordinary
sight.
53
00:04:22,710 --> 00:04:25,910
Imagine, this is what they would have
seen.
54
00:04:29,110 --> 00:04:33,510
Must have been absolutely terrifying,
disturbing.
55
00:04:33,950 --> 00:04:40,449
This huge, 55 -foot -long, mysterious,
six -legged, hairy animal just lying
56
00:04:40,450 --> 00:04:41,500
there on the beach.
57
00:04:41,850 --> 00:04:47,710
These were not just a new species. This
was a new species of megafauna.
58
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:52,580
This was a big animal. This was a sea
monster.
59
00:04:53,940 --> 00:04:59,440
It was dubbed the Stronsay Beast, and
news of the discovery began to spread.
60
00:05:00,140 --> 00:05:06,979
News spread fairly rapidly worldwide
that this sea monster had arrived
61
00:05:06,980 --> 00:05:07,739
on the shore.
62
00:05:07,740 --> 00:05:13,339
They convened a sort of tribunal with
two local justices of the peace taking
63
00:05:13,340 --> 00:05:15,260
sworn affidavits.
64
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,620
from the local people who had seen this
animal.
65
00:05:21,100 --> 00:05:25,999
But while the accounts of the beast were
now officially on the record, nobody
66
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,170
could do much more to preserve the
carcass.
67
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:33,399
And the late summer heat nearly rotted
away the remains of the mysterious
68
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:34,450
animal.
69
00:05:35,300 --> 00:05:40,300
The animal lying on the beach had been
trundled around in the sand quite a lot.
70
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,640
Much of the skin had come off.
71
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:47,200
and what you were left with were the
fraying muscle fibers.
72
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:53,319
Various bits of the carcass were
collected by some of the local people,
73
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:59,380
were sent down to Edinburgh. The skull,
the head, was actually sent to London,
74
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:03,340
but unfortunately that has since been
lost during the Blitz.
75
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,540
The vertebrae of the animal.
76
00:06:08,910 --> 00:06:14,110
They were studied in Edinburgh by a very
eminent anatomist called John Barclay.
77
00:06:14,170 --> 00:06:18,910
He concluded that this was like no other
animal. This was a new creature.
78
00:06:19,590 --> 00:06:26,189
An equally eminent anatomist in London
was absolutely convinced that the
79
00:06:26,190 --> 00:06:29,310
remains were those of a large shark.
80
00:06:31,550 --> 00:06:36,749
The puzzling thing is that the local
community on Stronsley would be very
81
00:06:36,750 --> 00:06:38,470
familiar with these big sharks.
82
00:06:38,840 --> 00:06:45,479
Therefore, how could anybody possibly
mistake this animal, 55
83
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:49,040
feet long, with six legs, for a shark?
84
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:56,119
The observations were accurate. I mean,
we have no reason to
85
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,200
disbelieve the eye witnesses.
86
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:05,819
The remains of the animal that are still
in the museum consist of
87
00:07:05,820 --> 00:07:07,180
three vertebrae.
88
00:07:07,580 --> 00:07:10,590
I've had the opportunity of looking at
the three vertebrae.
89
00:07:12,260 --> 00:07:18,059
After analyzing the remains, Jeff
concluded that the Stronsay beast shared
90
00:07:18,060 --> 00:07:23,899
similarities with our potential profile
of the Loch Ness Monster, including a
91
00:07:23,900 --> 00:07:30,000
long, narrow shape, flippers on its
abdomen, and of course, its massive
92
00:07:31,580 --> 00:07:35,579
This is the first physical evidence of a
possible Loch Ness Monster -type
93
00:07:35,580 --> 00:07:36,660
creature in Scotland.
94
00:07:37,870 --> 00:07:43,489
Not a blurry photo or a fleeting
sighting, but actual remains of a
95
00:07:43,490 --> 00:07:45,970
must have roamed the area's waters at
some point.
96
00:07:48,950 --> 00:07:55,949
There are myth, stories, legends
associated with many large bodies
97
00:07:55,950 --> 00:07:57,630
of water all over the world.
98
00:07:58,330 --> 00:08:01,650
Stories of unknown animals.
99
00:08:02,830 --> 00:08:04,570
Loch Ness in particular.
100
00:08:05,230 --> 00:08:12,229
It would, of course, be really exciting
if we had some material evidence of a
101
00:08:12,230 --> 00:08:17,870
new animal, a bit of megafauna, a large
animal, a sea monster.
102
00:08:18,090 --> 00:08:24,730
And until we have something to actually
examine, I keep an open mind.
103
00:08:33,549 --> 00:08:38,288
actually be the same species as the
creature long identified as the Loch
104
00:08:38,289 --> 00:08:39,339
Monster.
105
00:08:41,070 --> 00:08:44,730
The resemblance is uncanny, as is the
timing.
106
00:08:46,630 --> 00:08:52,149
In 1808, the year the Stransay beast was
discovered, there were alleged
107
00:08:52,150 --> 00:08:57,030
sightings of similar creatures in Loch
Ness and in Sweden's Storsjön Lake.
108
00:08:59,390 --> 00:09:00,990
Is this just a coincidence?
109
00:09:01,910 --> 00:09:06,030
Or were several of these unknown animals
migrating through northern Europe?
110
00:09:10,850 --> 00:09:15,669
Coming up, we go behind the scenes of
one of the world's largest biological
111
00:09:15,670 --> 00:09:20,430
archives to finally complete our profile
of the Loch Ness Monster.
112
00:09:21,630 --> 00:09:28,589
And then, we'll enter the loch for the
chance to possibly see the beast
113
00:09:28,590 --> 00:09:29,640
ourselves.
114
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:34,390
We've passed that point where I can't
see them anymore. They're pretty deep
115
00:09:40,900 --> 00:09:47,039
The mystery of the Loch Ness Monster has
inspired generations of searchers
116
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,340
trying to find this elusive species.
117
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,640
But there's a chance it's already been
found.
118
00:09:55,850 --> 00:09:59,929
in the form of an as yet unidentified
carcass on the shore of the Scottish
119
00:09:59,930 --> 00:10:01,570
island of Stronsay.
120
00:10:05,170 --> 00:10:10,989
If the Stronsay beast is in fact a
match, it adds even more key details to
121
00:10:10,990 --> 00:10:12,130
profile of the monster.
122
00:10:14,350 --> 00:10:19,349
The Stronsay remains had three pairs of
what the fishermen described as paws or
123
00:10:19,350 --> 00:10:20,400
flippers.
124
00:10:22,220 --> 00:10:26,899
This could explain the animal's ability
to cruise along the water's surface at 6
125
00:10:26,900 --> 00:10:32,240
miles per hour, as seen in a 2007 video
by Nessie hunter Gordon Holmes.
126
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:42,819
It's also consistent with this
photograph taken in the 1970s by a
127
00:10:42,820 --> 00:10:44,560
encountered a creature in the loch.
128
00:10:47,020 --> 00:10:51,320
The specimen at Stronsay was covered in
short, wiry bristles.
129
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:56,219
most commonly found on marine animals,
who use them to sense the presence of
130
00:10:56,220 --> 00:10:57,900
food in deep, dark waters.
131
00:11:00,020 --> 00:11:05,539
If Nessie exists, it would need similar
features in order to feed and survive in
132
00:11:05,540 --> 00:11:07,820
the near blackout conditions of Loch
Ness.
133
00:11:09,380 --> 00:11:14,599
We've now added quite a bit to our
profile, but one can't help but think
134
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,040
still looks rather familiar.
135
00:11:16,780 --> 00:11:21,079
Perhaps it's time to revisit one of the
very first theories on the Loch Ness
136
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:22,130
Monster's identity.
137
00:11:22,540 --> 00:11:25,380
So what particular species do you think
it is?
138
00:11:25,660 --> 00:11:30,919
The evidence, as I interpreted it, all
fits. And I know this is a fantastic
139
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,340
statement, but this all fits plethysaur.
140
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:39,919
Since the 1930s, dozens of witnesses
have speculated that Nessie is a species
141
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:41,240
we've already identified.
142
00:11:41,980 --> 00:11:44,260
Could they have been right this whole
time?
143
00:11:45,100 --> 00:11:48,500
If so, the plesiosaur is an intriguing
option.
144
00:11:48,940 --> 00:11:53,419
It's a type of marine reptile that dates
back to the time of the dinosaurs in
145
00:11:53,420 --> 00:11:54,680
the late Triassic period.
146
00:11:55,400 --> 00:12:00,859
Plesiosaurs thrive for nearly 140
million years before supposedly dying
147
00:12:00,860 --> 00:12:03,540
the same time as their land -based
contemporaries.
148
00:12:04,220 --> 00:12:08,400
But is it possible the plesiosaur could
have survived?
149
00:12:08,680 --> 00:12:11,700
And could it still be lurking in the
depths today?
150
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:13,580
Other animals survived.
151
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:18,420
including crocodiles, the duck -billed
platypus, and even bees.
152
00:12:20,560 --> 00:12:25,659
There have even been animals that were
long thought to be extinct, only to
153
00:12:25,660 --> 00:12:28,920
suddenly and mysteriously turn up again,
alive and well.
154
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:34,979
One famous example is the coelacanth, a
large, ancient fish species thought to
155
00:12:34,980 --> 00:12:36,539
have died out with the dinosaurs.
156
00:12:36,540 --> 00:12:42,939
But then in 1938, miraculously, living
coelacanths were found off the coast of
157
00:12:42,940 --> 00:12:43,990
South Africa.
158
00:12:44,680 --> 00:12:47,720
Could the same thing be happening in
Loch Ness?
159
00:12:50,780 --> 00:12:54,899
Paleontologist Dr. Pernille Trollsen has
studied thousands of fossils from
160
00:12:54,900 --> 00:12:56,760
museum collections around the world.
161
00:12:57,660 --> 00:13:00,240
And she thinks she may have the answer.
162
00:13:01,940 --> 00:13:06,200
So the whole group of plesiosauria is
divided into these two morphotypes.
163
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:11,199
One of them is the one we see here, so
this is the plesiosaur, and the other
164
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:12,580
ones are the plesiosaurs.
165
00:13:14,220 --> 00:13:18,860
Right away, the parallels to our profile
of the Loch Ness Monster seem obvious.
166
00:13:19,540 --> 00:13:23,799
So what is really unique about
plesiosaurs is that they have no modern
167
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:27,120
which means that we have no animal that
looks like this today.
168
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:31,739
They have this really unique body plan,
which you can see here, the four
169
00:13:31,740 --> 00:13:38,100
flippers, and then we have a trunk area,
and the neck, the head, and the tail.
170
00:13:42,140 --> 00:13:43,260
Is it possible?
171
00:13:43,900 --> 00:13:48,399
that the Loch Ness Monster's skeleton
has been here on display for nearly two
172
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:49,450
centuries.
173
00:13:50,500 --> 00:13:56,479
Dr. Trollson is a plesiosaur expert,
having dedicated her PhD studies to this
174
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:57,740
one specific species.
175
00:13:59,940 --> 00:14:03,080
And according to her, the answer is no.
176
00:14:05,380 --> 00:14:07,460
Because as we're about to find out...
177
00:14:07,461 --> 00:14:11,719
Her recently published research proves
that despite thousands of eyewitness
178
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:16,839
accounts over hundreds of years, we
might have the potential monster's most
179
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,260
iconic feature all wrong.
180
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:25,179
It's a groundbreaking new find that
could allow us to finally complete our
181
00:14:25,180 --> 00:14:28,680
profile of the world's most sought
-after unknown species.
182
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:38,879
For decades, thousands of dedicated
Nessie hunters have focused on a very
183
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:40,020
specific description.
184
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:46,220
A beast with a long serpentine neck,
reminiscent of ancient plesiosaurs.
185
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:52,339
But plesiosaur specialist, Dr. Pernille
Trollsen, has a major problem with that
186
00:14:52,340 --> 00:14:53,390
theory.
187
00:14:53,391 --> 00:14:56,999
She thinks that Nessie hunters should be
looking for something significantly
188
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:58,050
different.
189
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:02,720
The plesiosaurs have a great variety of
neck lengths.
190
00:15:03,290 --> 00:15:09,269
It goes all the way from 16 vertebrae to
76 vertebrae. So that's a great chill
191
00:15:09,270 --> 00:15:14,469
amount of neck vertebrae compared to us
as mammals. We only have 7 vertebrae in
192
00:15:14,470 --> 00:15:15,520
the neck.
193
00:15:19,210 --> 00:15:23,150
A plesiosaur's neck ranges from 3 feet
to 23 feet.
194
00:15:23,610 --> 00:15:28,630
And while that length adds flexibility,
it also creates a major weakness.
195
00:15:30,380 --> 00:15:34,599
Dr. Trollson did extensive research on
the amount of pressure and movement a
196
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:39,919
plesiosaur neck could take and compared
it to what alleged witnesses have said
197
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:41,300
about the Loch Ness Monster.
198
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:48,859
The Loch Ness Monster depicted with this
thin, long neck, like the long -necked
199
00:15:48,860 --> 00:15:53,740
plesiosaurs, would not have been able to
cross the water surface.
200
00:15:54,490 --> 00:15:59,329
because the pressure on the neck when it
was moving out of the water would have
201
00:15:59,330 --> 00:16:03,989
been too high, and definitely that swan
-like pose it's been depicted as would
202
00:16:03,990 --> 00:16:05,070
have been impossible.
203
00:16:06,210 --> 00:16:10,949
In other words, a flexible plesiosaur
neck wouldn't have the strength to stand
204
00:16:10,950 --> 00:16:12,000
above the waterline.
205
00:16:12,490 --> 00:16:15,830
In fact, it would barely be able to
break the surface.
206
00:16:18,510 --> 00:16:22,629
The Loch Ness Monster would probably
have been another animal than the long
207
00:16:22,630 --> 00:16:23,680
-necked plesiosaur.
208
00:16:23,790 --> 00:16:27,829
Similar to this ichthyosaur we see here,
which has a really, really short neck
209
00:16:27,830 --> 00:16:31,409
that would have been able to cope with
the water pressure as the animal would
210
00:16:31,410 --> 00:16:32,610
cross the water surface.
211
00:16:33,970 --> 00:16:37,230
And that's not the only thing Dr.
Trulson found in her research.
212
00:16:37,231 --> 00:16:42,469
Another reason why I don't think the
Loch Ness Monster would be a plesosaur
213
00:16:42,470 --> 00:16:46,690
the fact that we assume that plesosaurs
were air breezes.
214
00:16:50,090 --> 00:16:55,349
Whatever this species is, If it needed
to come up for air every few minutes, it
215
00:16:55,350 --> 00:16:57,350
would easily be spotted by onlookers.
216
00:16:59,110 --> 00:17:01,870
Therefore, the creature most likely has
gills.
217
00:17:03,870 --> 00:17:09,289
If Dr. Trolson is correct, we've been
dead wrong this whole time about a long
218
00:17:09,290 --> 00:17:10,610
-necked Loch Ness monster.
219
00:17:11,030 --> 00:17:15,429
Even though it was a hoax, modern
sightings have clearly been influenced
220
00:17:15,430 --> 00:17:18,750
iconic 1934 surgeon's photo in the Daily
Mail.
221
00:17:19,319 --> 00:17:24,059
If not for that photo, the mistaken
concept of a long -necked Nessie might
222
00:17:24,060 --> 00:17:25,110
have existed.
223
00:17:25,500 --> 00:17:29,780
Without it, is it possible the monster
could have been found decades ago?
224
00:17:30,120 --> 00:17:36,399
We may never know how much lost time it
cost the search, but we now have all the
225
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:40,280
information we need to complete our new
profile of the Loch Ness Monster.
226
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:43,860
So far, we've developed this image.
227
00:17:44,100 --> 00:17:47,220
And at last, we have the final piece of
the puzzle.
228
00:17:47,980 --> 00:17:52,939
If the creature's eel -like serpentine
form isn't its neck, then it must be its
229
00:17:52,940 --> 00:17:53,990
body.
230
00:17:54,260 --> 00:17:59,739
With that last detail, we can finally
reveal our brand new, never -before
231
00:17:59,740 --> 00:18:03,480
image of what the Loch Ness Monster
might look like.
232
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:14,179
A far cry from the traditional dinosaur
-like appearance pitched to tourists
233
00:18:14,180 --> 00:18:15,230
over the years.
234
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:20,559
This is what the monster would have to
actually resemble in order to survive
235
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:24,400
thrive while remaining hidden in the
waters of Loch Ness.
236
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:30,300
It's still rather terrifying, perhaps
even more so.
237
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:32,320
One thing's for sure.
238
00:18:32,620 --> 00:18:37,479
If any creature got close enough to
witness this detailed point of view, it
239
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,080
wouldn't survive long enough to tell the
tale.
240
00:18:46,060 --> 00:18:50,419
Now that we know what a potential Loch
Ness monster might look like, perhaps we
241
00:18:50,420 --> 00:18:53,490
can determine the location where the
species could be found.
242
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,760
We theorize that this is a migratory
animal.
243
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:06,900
In other words, it probably hasn't lived
in the Loch for its entire existence.
244
00:19:08,820 --> 00:19:13,160
In order to locate it today, we must
answer two key questions.
245
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:18,640
First, How exactly could this creature
come and go from Loch Ness?
246
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,400
Second, is it still able to do so?
247
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:32,159
Local guide Grant Sutherland has fished
the waters around Loch Ness his entire
248
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:36,959
life, and he thinks he knows the route
the beast originally took from the North
249
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:41,480
Sea to the loch, a path it may still be
traveling today.
250
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:51,879
Having worked in the area for over 20
years, Grant is very familiar with the
251
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:53,660
waterways that surround Loch Ness.
252
00:19:56,100 --> 00:20:00,819
According to Grant, there is only one
natural link between the North Sea and
253
00:20:00,820 --> 00:20:01,870
loch.
254
00:20:03,860 --> 00:20:05,620
And that's the River Ness.
255
00:20:05,621 --> 00:20:11,979
Well, here we are at the mouth of the
River Ness. This is where it enters the
256
00:20:11,980 --> 00:20:13,030
North Sea.
257
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:18,520
This area is one of the most food -rich
environments in all of Scotland,
258
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,740
absolutely teeming with fish species.
259
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,600
This is a riptide you can see coming out
here.
260
00:20:28,601 --> 00:20:32,139
This is a popular area, lots of food
turned up, so there's a lot of fish that
261
00:20:32,140 --> 00:20:34,180
are going to be attracted to this area.
262
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:39,759
Humans have been hauling in large
catches from the mouth of the River Ness
263
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,380
centuries, but we're not the only ones.
264
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:50,439
A wide array of marine predators feast
here too, including birds, seals, and
265
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:51,490
dolphins.
266
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:56,999
So it's possible that a large North Sea
marine hunter like the potential Loch
267
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,320
Ness monster could have come here as
well.
268
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:06,479
Once it reached the river mouth, two
tasty species in particular could have
269
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:07,620
coaxed it even farther.
270
00:21:08,540 --> 00:21:12,439
A couple of species of Atlantic salmon
and the sea trout that will carry on up
271
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:13,179
the river.
272
00:21:13,180 --> 00:21:14,680
Looking for spawning grounds.
273
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:21,239
Brown trout and Atlantic salmon are the
two largest and most nutrient -rich fish
274
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:22,290
in the area.
275
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:27,319
If the monster exists, it's easy to
imagine it following these fish upstream
276
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,320
during a feeding frenzy.
277
00:21:31,100 --> 00:21:36,159
But unfortunately, if this alleged
animal wanted to make it all the way to
278
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,240
Ness from here, it would meet a major
obstacle.
279
00:21:49,450 --> 00:21:52,100
are, just a mile and a half from the
mouth of the river.
280
00:21:52,101 --> 00:21:55,549
This is one of the first obstacles that
any animal that's wanting to navigate
281
00:21:55,550 --> 00:21:59,589
its way through into Loch Ness is going
to hit very bouldery shallow, fast
282
00:21:59,590 --> 00:22:02,949
-flowing water like this, and there's
another five to six miles of this, and
283
00:22:02,950 --> 00:22:06,189
it'll make it difficult for any animal
to navigate its way into the deep waters
284
00:22:06,190 --> 00:22:07,240
of Loch Ness.
285
00:22:07,241 --> 00:22:11,829
In other words, if the monster wanted to
reach the loch by way of the river
286
00:22:11,830 --> 00:22:14,570
Ness, this would be the end of the road.
287
00:22:17,370 --> 00:22:18,420
Fortunately,
288
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:20,520
There just might be another way in.
289
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:33,939
Building off our new profile, we now
have a compelling theory of the Loch
290
00:22:33,940 --> 00:22:35,500
Monster's potential behavior.
291
00:22:36,500 --> 00:22:39,820
What if the beast is so elusive because
it migrates?
292
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,780
Can it come and go from the loch at
will?
293
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:52,479
We know the River Ness is too powerful
and rocky to be navigable by a large
294
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:53,530
marine animal.
295
00:22:54,100 --> 00:22:56,600
But could there be another way?
296
00:22:57,700 --> 00:23:01,140
This is the Caledonian Canal, and this
is a backdoor into Loch Ness.
297
00:23:03,380 --> 00:23:08,799
Completed in 1822, the Caledonian Canal
was built as a shortcut across Scotland
298
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:09,880
for commercial boats.
299
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:15,480
It runs from coast to coast, including
directly into Loch Ness.
300
00:23:18,630 --> 00:23:24,349
35 feet deep and lacking the powerful
current and rapids of the River Ness,
301
00:23:24,350 --> 00:23:28,370
canal would make a much more inviting
route for the monster if it exists.
302
00:23:29,630 --> 00:23:33,889
The River Ness is a very tough journey
for any species to take up there. The
303
00:23:33,890 --> 00:23:37,329
Caledonian Canal would be a much easier
piece of water for any animal that chose
304
00:23:37,330 --> 00:23:41,430
to move from the sea into Loch Ness.
It's a much slower, deeper piece of
305
00:23:43,450 --> 00:23:47,550
The time frame of the canal's
construction certainly checks out.
306
00:23:48,110 --> 00:23:52,450
The earliest sightings of the monster
were in the river Ness, not the loch.
307
00:23:52,890 --> 00:23:55,630
It may have had no way to reach the loch
at first.
308
00:23:56,150 --> 00:24:02,509
But the canal opened in 1822, just 14
years after the strontae beast was
309
00:24:02,510 --> 00:24:04,990
discovered, 131 miles away.
310
00:24:05,850 --> 00:24:10,849
That massive North Sea species, that
previously could only travel partway up
311
00:24:10,850 --> 00:24:14,190
river, could now make it all the way to
Loch Ness.
312
00:24:15,220 --> 00:24:18,580
Today, boat traffic regularly commutes
through the canal.
313
00:24:20,340 --> 00:24:25,120
The question is, could the Loch Ness
Monster use the canal the very same way,
314
00:24:25,300 --> 00:24:29,839
coming to its favorite feeding ground
during its salmon and trout spawning
315
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:31,040
each spring and summer?
316
00:24:33,380 --> 00:24:38,799
If the Loch Ness Monster is migrating to
chase food, it helps explain some other
317
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:39,850
mysteries.
318
00:24:42,190 --> 00:24:45,990
For instance, the inconsistency in its
annual appearances.
319
00:24:48,350 --> 00:24:52,530
In 1996, there were 17 alleged
sightings.
320
00:24:53,450 --> 00:25:00,449
But in 2009, and again in 2013, Nephi
was supposedly spotted just once the
321
00:25:00,450 --> 00:25:01,500
year.
322
00:25:03,810 --> 00:25:08,230
This seems like good evidence that the
species doesn't live here full -time.
323
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:14,080
Still, it gives us an advantage.
324
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:19,459
We now know precisely when this species
is most likely to be present in these
325
00:25:19,460 --> 00:25:20,510
waters.
326
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:27,679
When the salmon begin to migrate into
the loch, the creature known as Nessie
327
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:29,280
could be close behind.
328
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:33,820
And if we're right, then that time is
now.
329
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:41,880
This year's salmon migration began two
weeks ago, so armed with our new
330
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,880
The hunt for this unidentified creature
is officially on.
331
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:55,599
It will be a two -pronged search effort,
led by Captain Mike Lynch and scuba
332
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:56,760
diver Chris McKendry.
333
00:26:01,420 --> 00:26:05,979
Captain Mike will be manning the Rebel,
a 40 -foot catamaran outfitted with
334
00:26:05,980 --> 00:26:10,079
state -of -the -art sonar that will give
him a never -before -seen picture of
335
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:11,260
the murky lock bottom.
336
00:26:15,180 --> 00:26:16,260
It's going to be messy.
337
00:26:18,300 --> 00:26:23,419
Working in tandem with the Rebel aboard
a high -speed Zodiac is Chris and a two
338
00:26:23,420 --> 00:26:24,470
-man dive team.
339
00:26:25,580 --> 00:26:30,499
Advanced cold -water divers Tom Theon
and Ken Miller will be ready to enter
340
00:26:30,500 --> 00:26:32,000
water at the captain's signal.
341
00:26:33,260 --> 00:26:37,319
As soon as we're ready and we see
something on the screen that we feel the
342
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:41,099
to investigate, then the dive team in
the RIB there can launch at very short
343
00:26:41,100 --> 00:26:42,150
notice.
344
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:44,610
Okay.
345
00:26:45,930 --> 00:26:50,589
Just go into lock end as close as we
can. Obviously, you can go further to
346
00:26:50,590 --> 00:26:51,589
school than I can.
347
00:26:51,590 --> 00:26:52,640
Yeah.
348
00:26:53,130 --> 00:26:54,670
This is the mouth of the lock.
349
00:26:54,950 --> 00:26:56,370
Lock end to the right there.
350
00:26:59,590 --> 00:27:03,080
We've just entered lock nest now.
Weather conditions are pretty good.
351
00:27:03,130 --> 00:27:07,169
We've got a slight mist there, but
there's very little wind. And these are
352
00:27:07,170 --> 00:27:08,310
ideal conditions now.
353
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:14,459
Captain Mike is using our newfound
understanding of the potential monster's
354
00:27:14,460 --> 00:27:19,359
migratory habits to focus his search on
the north end of the loch, where the
355
00:27:19,360 --> 00:27:22,880
salmon -rich river Ness intersects with
the Caledonian Canal.
356
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,500
Loch Ness is a vast area.
357
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:33,719
The monster Nessie could be swimming
anywhere under there, but I think
358
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:37,599
more fish up this end of the loch
because of the salmon and that swimming
359
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:38,650
through.
360
00:27:40,270 --> 00:27:45,409
As Mike pilots the Rebel, his fellow
skipper Andrew monitors the sonar
361
00:27:45,410 --> 00:27:47,870
information on a large screen below
deck.
362
00:27:48,550 --> 00:27:49,870
I'll come around port side.
363
00:27:50,550 --> 00:27:53,080
Yeah, go around port side. That's good
shape, Mike.
364
00:27:56,650 --> 00:28:00,350
The Rebel sonar boasts unparalleled
range and resolution.
365
00:28:00,351 --> 00:28:05,469
Sonars have developed such a long way
now. We've got a lot more detail on the
366
00:28:05,470 --> 00:28:07,870
sonar. You can see that we can...
367
00:28:08,360 --> 00:28:10,950
At least they're leaving the food on the
sonars now.
368
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:15,380
So technology's moved on and it's given
us more sophisticated equipment.
369
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:21,859
In addition to the latest technology, we
also have a much clearer picture of
370
00:28:21,860 --> 00:28:26,240
exactly what we're looking for and where
it might be found.
371
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:30,540
We're not necessarily looking for a big,
long neck, lots of humps.
372
00:28:30,541 --> 00:28:34,659
What we're probably looking for is an
apex predator, and because we know we're
373
00:28:34,660 --> 00:28:35,609
looking for that...
374
00:28:35,610 --> 00:28:39,210
We can narrow down the searches to what
apex predators feed on.
375
00:28:42,910 --> 00:28:47,949
Captain Mike sweeps back and forth in
tight parallel lines, like a lawnmower
376
00:28:47,950 --> 00:28:49,000
cutting a yard.
377
00:28:52,061 --> 00:28:56,169
Yeah, you're picking that up now, aren't
you?
378
00:28:56,170 --> 00:29:00,130
Yeah, perfect. Just go round it, just
about six, seven knots would be perfect.
379
00:29:01,250 --> 00:29:04,750
The Rebel is now passing over a steep
underwater ledge.
380
00:29:05,550 --> 00:29:08,670
which could be an area of particular
interest in our search.
381
00:29:10,950 --> 00:29:16,169
We're now heading south down Loch Ness.
We've just left behind us Loch End, the
382
00:29:16,170 --> 00:29:17,220
small village there.
383
00:29:17,270 --> 00:29:22,730
Now at Loch End, the Loch Ness is very
shallow, but then it suddenly slopes
384
00:29:22,870 --> 00:29:26,650
and we're now recording a depth of 258
feet.
385
00:29:27,030 --> 00:29:32,529
And you can see on the sonar there that
there's two sets, or two shoals of fish
386
00:29:32,530 --> 00:29:36,219
there. Now, where there's lots of fish,
obviously that means that that's a food
387
00:29:36,220 --> 00:29:41,259
source. So obviously Nessie needs to
feed, and that would be ideal, feed for
388
00:29:41,260 --> 00:29:42,310
Nessie there.
389
00:29:43,980 --> 00:29:49,979
As the boat moves over the shoals of
fish, the captain notices something new
390
00:29:49,980 --> 00:29:51,030
the sonar.
391
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,600
Looking at the sonar there on the LED.
392
00:29:54,330 --> 00:29:58,249
I can see some dark spots appearing with
the multi -beam there. We're not too
393
00:29:58,250 --> 00:30:02,569
sure what those dark spots are, so we
need to just go back and take a closer
394
00:30:02,570 --> 00:30:06,690
look at that, hover over that. We need
to investigate a little bit further.
395
00:30:10,250 --> 00:30:11,870
Go, go, guys, let's go.
396
00:30:12,110 --> 00:30:18,709
Coming up, the dive team goes in for a
potential history -making
397
00:30:18,710 --> 00:30:21,720
encounter with what could be the
creature long identified.
398
00:30:22,540 --> 00:30:23,760
as the Loch Ness Monster.
399
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:36,219
Armed with our new profile of the Loch
Ness Monster, and a detailed analysis of
400
00:30:36,220 --> 00:30:42,079
its possible migratory habits, we've
zeroed in on the precise time and place
401
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,880
we're most likely to find this
unidentified species.
402
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:51,439
We've got the very precise sonar
technology now that will give us a 3D
403
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:52,680
the lock itself.
404
00:30:52,940 --> 00:30:57,419
That's given us more detailed advantage
than we've ever had before on board this
405
00:30:57,420 --> 00:30:58,470
vessel.
406
00:30:59,140 --> 00:31:02,340
The sonar has pinpointed several shoals
of fish.
407
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:07,560
So they're currently swimming at the
depth of about 193 feet.
408
00:31:08,260 --> 00:31:11,520
And nearby, it's spotted something else
as well.
409
00:31:12,060 --> 00:31:15,320
A reading unlike anything the crew has
ever seen.
410
00:31:15,321 --> 00:31:21,849
Skipper Mike, we just take a run to the
port side a bit. We'll get a better
411
00:31:21,850 --> 00:31:23,610
view. Roger that, Black Sandy.
412
00:31:24,230 --> 00:31:28,049
It's dark blue in here. We don't
currently have any information on. We
413
00:31:28,050 --> 00:31:31,660
get a skipper to go over this area a few
times to help enhance the 3D image.
414
00:31:33,690 --> 00:31:38,809
Captain Mike steers back over the dark
area on the lock bottom, using a more
415
00:31:38,810 --> 00:31:42,190
precise multi -beam sonar to try to
generate a clearer picture.
416
00:31:45,790 --> 00:31:46,950
He asks Andrew.
417
00:31:47,470 --> 00:31:49,170
to put the dive team on standby.
418
00:31:50,530 --> 00:31:51,580
Okay, okay.
419
00:31:53,350 --> 00:31:56,420
The divers are going to get ready. We're
going to go on standby.
420
00:31:56,421 --> 00:31:59,609
The divers have got their dry suits on,
the undersuits, the dry suits. That's
421
00:31:59,610 --> 00:32:01,519
going to help protect them against the
elements.
422
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:03,340
This loch is really, really cold.
423
00:32:03,341 --> 00:32:07,059
If you're in there without a dry suit,
you could be dead within minutes. So the
424
00:32:07,060 --> 00:32:10,219
divers have got to be very careful about
making sure their suits are all ready,
425
00:32:10,220 --> 00:32:13,619
they're all zipped up, good to go. The
speed is of the essence. We need to get
426
00:32:13,620 --> 00:32:16,919
geared up quick, we need to get in the
water quick, get right down on that
427
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:18,300
contact as soon as we can.
428
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:27,539
Now, it's up to the crew on the Rebel to
try and identify this mysterious mass
429
00:32:27,540 --> 00:32:28,860
as quickly as possible.
430
00:32:30,700 --> 00:32:35,260
We'll park the boat just over this dark
area to get more detailed information,
431
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:37,300
which is what we'll do now.
432
00:32:40,971 --> 00:32:43,019
Skipper crew?
433
00:32:43,020 --> 00:32:44,070
Yeah, go ahead, mate.
434
00:32:44,220 --> 00:32:48,120
Yeah, mate, maybe we'll go a bit more
starboard and a little bit floored.
435
00:32:48,180 --> 00:32:49,230
cheers.
436
00:32:53,780 --> 00:32:58,140
Unfortunately, the technique doesn't
work, because whatever this dark form
437
00:32:58,320 --> 00:32:59,780
it's on the move.
438
00:33:00,990 --> 00:33:04,869
This needs further investigation. We may
have to get the dive team into this
439
00:33:04,870 --> 00:33:05,920
just to check it out.
440
00:33:07,250 --> 00:33:11,930
Now we're almost directly over this area
that's brought our attention.
441
00:33:12,350 --> 00:33:14,230
The multibeam has shown something.
442
00:33:14,231 --> 00:33:17,729
We're not sure what it is, but I think
it's time we get the divers in for a
443
00:33:17,730 --> 00:33:18,780
closer look.
444
00:33:19,530 --> 00:33:21,590
Just waiting for confirmation just now.
445
00:33:21,790 --> 00:33:25,889
Once we get that confirmation, get the
location, we're going to send the divers
446
00:33:25,890 --> 00:33:27,030
in to have a look around.
447
00:33:27,330 --> 00:33:28,830
I think we need to investigate.
448
00:33:29,180 --> 00:33:33,460
Go, go, guys, let's go. Straight the way
down here. Get the divers in now, guys,
449
00:33:33,461 --> 00:33:36,719
let's go, and I'll move the boat now out
of the way, directly under the boat
450
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:37,770
where we are.
451
00:33:43,660 --> 00:33:45,200
Okay, guys, it's all clear now.
452
00:33:46,500 --> 00:33:48,000
All ready on the count of three.
453
00:33:49,380 --> 00:33:53,180
One, two, three, go.
454
00:34:09,420 --> 00:34:14,218
On the northern end of Loch Ness,
Captain Mike Lynch has spotted an
455
00:34:14,219 --> 00:34:15,218
his sonar.
456
00:34:15,219 --> 00:34:20,819
A dark form near several shoals of fish
that very well might be a sign of the
457
00:34:20,820 --> 00:34:21,870
elusive monster.
458
00:34:23,219 --> 00:34:26,500
Whatever it is, the anomaly is on the
move.
459
00:34:27,739 --> 00:34:32,019
So the captain has quickly made the call
to deploy the dive team before it can
460
00:34:32,020 --> 00:34:33,070
escape.
461
00:34:33,420 --> 00:34:34,800
All ready on the catering?
462
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:37,010
One.
463
00:34:37,260 --> 00:34:38,800
Two, three, go.
464
00:34:43,260 --> 00:34:45,600
All right. Well done, guys.
465
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:48,600
That's it. Good night again.
466
00:34:56,540 --> 00:35:03,479
The water is thick with
467
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:04,530
mud and debris.
468
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:12,040
It also filters out more and more
sunlight with each foot the divers
469
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:21,920
They're a bit deeper.
470
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:26,900
We've passed that point where I can't
see them anymore. They're pretty deep
471
00:35:27,620 --> 00:35:29,500
It's pretty dark and murky down there.
472
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:35,520
The divers have reached the upper level
of the rock shelf.
473
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,410
that the rebels' equipment spotted from
above.
474
00:35:41,300 --> 00:35:45,340
The shoals of fish that initially drew
attention to the area have scattered.
475
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:48,020
Perhaps scared away.
476
00:35:48,740 --> 00:35:49,790
But by what?
477
00:35:51,831 --> 00:35:59,579
Tom is now searching for anything that
could have created the massive unknown
478
00:35:59,580 --> 00:36:00,940
object on the sonar.
479
00:36:02,700 --> 00:36:08,599
We're close to getting what we feel
could be a sighting, and that really is
480
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:09,700
experience in itself.
481
00:36:09,701 --> 00:36:14,379
Remember, this goes back hundreds of
years, and we're on the edge of maybe
482
00:36:14,380 --> 00:36:15,430
finding something.
483
00:36:27,660 --> 00:36:32,459
Despite conditions that get darker,
colder, and more dangerous with every
484
00:36:32,460 --> 00:36:35,140
of depth, the team decides to keep
going.
485
00:36:40,020 --> 00:36:44,440
With no sonar picture of what lies
beneath them, they are diving blind.
486
00:36:54,161 --> 00:37:01,189
This is a very dangerous time for
divers. They need to monitor their air,
487
00:37:01,190 --> 00:37:04,789
sure they've got enough air to stay at
that depth to try and find that contact,
488
00:37:04,790 --> 00:37:08,229
but also to make it safely back up to
the surface. That's key. That's the
489
00:37:08,230 --> 00:37:09,280
important thing.
490
00:37:10,390 --> 00:37:15,849
At this depth, the visibility is so bad,
Tom's flashlight provides less than
491
00:37:15,850 --> 00:37:17,290
five feet of illumination.
492
00:37:19,490 --> 00:37:23,010
And the water temperature has plunged
below 40 degrees.
493
00:37:25,870 --> 00:37:30,639
What we're looking for, The signal to
the surface is an SNB, a surface marker
494
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:33,440
boy. That's going to let us know if
they've made contact.
495
00:37:55,950 --> 00:37:58,420
the divers have encountered something
massive.
496
00:37:59,810 --> 00:38:04,869
As you can see, a large animal with a
vertical tail fin passed directly in
497
00:38:04,870 --> 00:38:10,549
of the camera, knocking it aside and
kicking up a large cloud of sand and
498
00:38:10,550 --> 00:38:11,600
debris.
499
00:38:17,490 --> 00:38:21,290
As the cloud subsides, the creature has
disappeared into the darkness.
500
00:38:29,390 --> 00:38:32,340
Tom and Ken would prefer to continue
their investigation.
501
00:38:33,150 --> 00:38:39,409
But over 150 feet down, and with their
oxygen tanks running low, they must
502
00:38:39,410 --> 00:38:40,510
return to the surface.
503
00:38:42,350 --> 00:38:47,449
Tom prepares to send out the surface
marker buoy to let Chris know the
504
00:38:47,450 --> 00:38:48,500
of their contact.
505
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,960
The divers slowly and carefully make
their ascent.
506
00:39:02,251 --> 00:39:09,159
The divers have definitely seen
something. They've definitely made some
507
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:11,690
contact. It's just hard to tell what it
is right now.
508
00:39:13,180 --> 00:39:15,830
That's them coming up. They're almost at
the surface.
509
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:20,160
So what did you guys see?
510
00:39:20,260 --> 00:39:22,120
There was something massive in there.
511
00:39:22,240 --> 00:39:23,820
Kicked up a lot of salt.
512
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:25,660
Time to get back to it.
513
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:37,259
This could be the first time ever that a
diver has not only spotted the creature
514
00:39:37,260 --> 00:39:42,199
long identified as the Loch Ness
Monster, but actually made physical
515
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:43,250
with it.
516
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:55,869
As the day comes to an end, the dive
team and the crew of the Rebel know that
517
00:39:55,870 --> 00:39:57,370
they've been a part of history.
518
00:39:57,371 --> 00:39:59,489
Okay, I've received that. Thanks,
Robbie.
519
00:39:59,490 --> 00:40:03,129
Yeah, it looks very promising. It's
filled with other... found something
520
00:40:03,130 --> 00:40:07,389
there that's worth further
investigation. So, talking to the divers
521
00:40:07,390 --> 00:40:11,549
Yeah, we were so close this time and at
least we've got a good idea now of where
522
00:40:11,550 --> 00:40:12,750
to look for the next time.
523
00:40:12,850 --> 00:40:13,900
We'll keep trying.
524
00:40:13,930 --> 00:40:15,430
We're closer than ever before.
525
00:40:15,431 --> 00:40:21,089
Well done, Hans. Well done, mate. This
is about the closest I think anybody's
526
00:40:21,090 --> 00:40:22,709
ever come to... Exactly, mate. Well
done.
527
00:40:22,710 --> 00:40:23,760
Fantastic, yeah.
528
00:40:23,761 --> 00:40:26,219
I'm really excited for this one.
Hopefully.
529
00:40:26,220 --> 00:40:27,360
Yeah, yeah. Really good.
530
00:40:27,361 --> 00:40:28,619
That's all.
531
00:40:28,620 --> 00:40:30,320
Fingers crossed. Here we come.
532
00:40:31,940 --> 00:40:38,619
Our experience
533
00:40:38,620 --> 00:40:43,900
tonight shows just how difficult the
search for the Loch Ness Monster can be.
534
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:50,159
Despite years of research and months of
planning, all we could get was a
535
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:51,210
fleeting encounter.
536
00:40:51,940 --> 00:40:52,990
And yet...
537
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:56,000
That may be closer than anyone else has
ever come.
538
00:40:56,580 --> 00:41:01,939
At the very least, we've identified a
new approach in finding the beast based
539
00:41:01,940 --> 00:41:03,000
scientific logic.
540
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:09,300
As many as 18 ,000 new species are
discovered every year.
541
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:13,919
That means four new ones might have been
found in the time you've been watching
542
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:14,970
this program.
543
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:18,180
There's a chance we've identified
something new tonight.
544
00:41:18,540 --> 00:41:20,500
We may have even seen it.
545
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:26,439
No matter what, we've certainly added to
the rich history of this legendary
546
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:33,199
creature. From St. Columba in the year
565, to Alex Campbell in 1933, to Gordon
547
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:38,320
Holmes in 2007, to us here today, one
thing is clear.
548
00:41:39,380 --> 00:41:41,200
Something is out there.
549
00:41:41,720 --> 00:41:47,259
There's only one way to find out what
the Loch Ness Monster truly is, and
550
00:41:47,260 --> 00:41:48,310
to keep looking.
551
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:51,580
The search continues.
