The Case for the Loch Ness "Monster": The Scientific Evidence

Henry H. Bauer, 1306 Highland Circle, Blacksburg, VA 24060-5623

Loch Ness Monsters (Nessies) are-if they exist-animals of a species either not yet known to science or known but thought to have been long extinct. Much controversy has concerned eyewitness testimonies and photographs whose relevance and validity are uncertain. However, there also exists a body of objective evidence that critics have been unable to gainsay: the Dinsdale film; numerous sonar echoes obtained over many years by different investigators; and underwater photography in 1972 coincident with sonar detection of large targets.

It is suggested that the natural habitat of Nessies is at significant depths, in sea fjords as well as in "monster" lochs.
