Loch Ness Monster Sighting: Recent Discovery Just A Branding Stunt By Apple? Official Fan Club Of Mysterious Creature Pleased To ‘See’ Beast While Twitter Users Make Jokes

There has been another sighting of the Loch Ness Monster.

The Independent has reported that there has been a Loch Ness Monster sighting on Apple Maps.

Images on Apple Maps shows a 100-ft-long floating creature, using its flippers to navigate through the Loch in the Scottish Highlands with its neck dipped down in to the water.

26-year-old Andrew Dixon, a charity worker for the Great North Air Ambulance from Darlington, County Durham told the Daily Mail, "It was a total fluke that I found it. I was looking at satellite images of my town and then just thought I'd have a look at Loch Ness."

Dixon added, "The first thing that came into my head when I saw it was, "That's the Loch Ness Monster. It was the shape of it I though it had to be something more than a shadow."

The President of the Official Loch Ness Monster Fan Club was reportedly pleased that there had been another sighting of the mysterious creature for the first time in 18 months.

The President, Gary Campbell explained, "It looks like a boat wake, but the boat is missing. You can see some boats moored at the shore, but there isn't one here. We've shown it boat experts and they don't know what it is."

Campbell continued, "Whatever this is, it is under the water and heading south, so unless there have been secret submarine trials going in the loch, the size of the object would make it likely to be Nessie."

There have been some sightings in the past that have turned out to be a complete joke.

The Wire reports that just last year, there was a picture of a man kneeling in the water by a "Nessie hump."

The "hump" turned out to be nothing but a carbon fiber canard.

Nessie enthusiasts are turning to Twitter to joke about the sightings. Twitter user, Ashley Burns wrote, "I'm so sick and tired of the debate over the Loch Ness Monster. The only thing I care about is what it tastes like."

There is also speculation that the sighting is also just a clever branding stunt by Apple.

There is no way of knowing.
