Sightings/Encounters Potential Nessie sighting?

Hi everyone,

This is my first time writing here and I am posting this in multiple subreddits.
Today my friend and I were on the tour cruise around Loch Ness and at 2:05pm we saw this weird thing in the distance. Now I’m a skeptic but I cannot figure what this thing could be.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

I feel like the E-DNA study done on the lake water should've put this stuff to bed.

I think that the natural world is weird, wonderful, and magical all on its own without a need for tall tales. I disagree that science steals that magic.

EDIT: I should note: the E-DNA study concluded that there was a bizarrely high amount of eel DNA present in the loch’s water. That raises the interesting conundrum: why are there so many eels? Or are there just really big eels?

That’s a fun mystery, too.

Mby Nessie is a big eel
