There have been lots of Nessie sightings reported this year, and it appears as though they aren't going to stop just because 2017 is coming to a close.
Last Thursday, the UK
Express reported on claims that a monster had been found on Google Maps:
"GOOGLE MAPS footage of the Loch Ness Monster, also known as Nessie, has shown an image of the creature with its distinctive humps traveling through the famous Loch Ness lake in the Scottish Highlands.
"Google Maps footage of the Loch Ness Monster has been discovered by users searching on street view.
"Map users are convinced the image, which portrays a long humped figure, is the famous Scottish creature.
"The long, narrow shape and four humps visible above the water's surface are consistent with previous sightings of the monster.
"It even resembles a photograph of Nessie taken in 1934, known as the 'Surgeon's Photograph.'

"What is the Loch Ness Monster?
"The Loch Ness Monster is believed to have a humped back and a long slim neck.
"The legendary creature is said to live in the Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands.
"It was brought to global attention in 1933, when a photograph of the Loch Ness, taken by Hugh Gray, was published in the Daily Express.
"A second photograph of the Loch Ness was taken shortly after in 1934 by surgeon Dr Kenneth Wilson.
"How many Loch Ness Monster photos are there?
"There have been a number of other sightings of the Loch Ness Monster, such as by Daily Express photographer Hugh Gray in 1933.
"Gary Campbell, keeper of the Official Loch Ness Monster Sightings Register, keeps a record of these which lists more than 1,000 sightings.
"Photographer James Gray and his friend Peter Levings famously photographed the Loch Ness Monster when out fishing.
"WIlliam and Joan Jobes, who are husband and wife, also posted a photo of Nessie in May 2011.
"Traveller Tony Bligh was shocked to take a photograph of the Loch Ness Monster while on holiday in Inverness visiting the lake.
"He was shocked to come across the famous aquatic creature there.
"'I noticed this weird formation on the loch near to Inverness end of the loch.'
"He asked of the photograph he had taken: 'Could it be the elusive Nessie?'
"This past year, 2017, it is believed Loch Ness Monster sightings hit a record high, according to expert Gary Campbell."
First of all, the new photo looks nothing like the Surgeon's photo (which was a hoax) like the article says. If anything, it looks more like the
Lachlan Stuart photo of 1951 (which was also a hoax). To me it looks like it could be a log bobbing in the water. Probably not a monster.
