A scientist who's spent 25 years looking for the Loch Ness monster now claims "Nessie" is just a huge wave.
Former Nessie Hunter Blames Giant Waves
Adrian Shine says giant sub-surface water movements, up to 40 metres in height, are responsible for causing some of the sightings of the world's most elusive aquatic inhabitant.
He says the waves, caused by friction between two layers of water in the loch, cause unusual surface movements and sonar readings which have been mooted as evidence of Nessie's existence.
Mr Shine has uncovered a divide between a top layer of water, which fluctuates in temperature by ten degrees, and a colder bottom layer, which stays the same. He says submerged waves go in the opposite direction to those on the upper layer, reports The Independent.
Mr Shine says: "This does not explain every sighting. I personally remain agnostic about Nessie's existence, but it is right that people be given all the information to make up their own minds."
