Watch: Footage from Fifth Nessie Sighting of 2022 Released

By Tim Binnall

An intriguing piece of footage that was captured during the fifth Nessie sighting of 2022 has been shared online and shows an inexplicable wake in the water that understandably made the witness take notice. The report, which was submitted by a local resident who spotted something unusual in the waters of Loch Ness, made headlines last week when it was given the proverbial thumbs up by the Official Loch Ness Monster Sightings Register and accepted as the first time the famed creature may have been spotted since this past April. At the time, all that was made available to the public was a still shot taken from footage captured by the witness. However, the website has now released a short video which shows exactly what was observed in the water.

In the maddeningly brief footage, a fairly sizeable wake can be seen out on Loch Ness with no discernible object nearby which could explain what might have caused the disturbance. While the weird anomaly is a far cry from the picture of a classic plesiosaur that many may conjure in their mind when imagining the famed monster, the movement on the water is undeniably perplexing and so it is understandable how the witness' account wound up earning a place in this year's list of official Nessie sightings. Having now seen the footage, can you discern what was observed at Loch Ness last week? Weigh in with your thoughts at the Coast to Coast AM Facebook page.
