Millions have traveled to the shores of Scotland's Loch Ness, hoping to catch a rare glimpse of the world's most famous lake monster.
Jason Cooke, 25, a security guard from Nottingham, England, told the U.K.'s Sun that he spotted the monster while scanning the site's satellite imagery.But earlier this week, a British man revealed that he spied the legendary Loch Ness monster while searching Google Earth from his very own home.
"I couldn't believe it. It's just like the descriptions of Nessie," he said.
The first recorded sighting of the monster was nearly 1,500 years ago when a giant beast is said to have leaped out of a lake near Inverness, Scotland, and ate a local farmer.
Since then, the myth of the Loch Ness monster has only magnified.
In 1934, a London doctor snapped a photograph that seemed to show a dinosaur-looking creature with a long neck emerging from the water. Then a home movie from 1960 showed a strange figure swimming in the water behind a family picnicking, although British intelligence later analyzed the film and concluded the figure was likely "something inanimate."
Of the millions of people who have looked into Loch Ness searching for something within, about 1,000 visitors have reported unusual sightings.
Unfortunately for Nessie-trackers, the "monster" spotted by Cooke looks an awful lot like a boat. But if you'd like to check it out for yourself, enter the following coordinates in Google Earth: Latitude 57°12'52.13"N, Longitude 4°34'14.16"W.

________________________________________________________________In my opinion it looks like a boat. You can see the ripple in the water that supposedly looks like it's flippers. Decide for yourself.
