[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bong-ju] There has been a claim that a mysterious creature was captured on an underwater sonar screen in Loch Ness, Scotland, UK, known domestically as the home of the 'Loch Ness Monster.'

According to the UK Daily Mail and others on the 5th (local time), Ronald Mackenzie (49), captain of a Loch Ness cruise, discovered a large dot that appeared to be a living creature on the underwater sonar screen while operating with 12 tourists on board around 4 p.m. on the 30th.

Captain Mackenzie said, "While the tourists were fascinated watching an eagle, an even more amazing scene appeared on the underwater sonar screen," adding, "Something about 10 meters long was captured at a depth of approximately 170 meters for about 10 seconds."

He continued, "The numerous dots surrounding the large white dot were schools of trout or salmon. Comparing these gives a sense of how big it is," and said, "It seems there is a creature no one knows about. Unless it is a very large eel or shark, it might be the monster 'Nessie.'"

If the white dot is a living creature, it is highly likely that it feeds on salmon or eels, the Daily Mail reported.

Captain Mackenzie said, "I have worked at Loch Ness since I was 16, but I have never seen anything like this," adding, "The new cruise ship is equipped with the latest technology. It captured what was underwater as it was. It is not manipulated."

Steve Feltham, who has tracked the existence of Nessie for a long time and is known as the 'Nessie Hunter,' said, "This is the most convincing evidence proving the existence of Nessie."

He said, "I have known Captain Mackenzie for over 30 years. He does not want media attention and does not really believe in the legends related to Nessie," adding, "Nessie is likely an animal. We are getting closer to the answer."

Craig Wallis, an underwater sonar analysis expert, said, "This photo is 100% original. For now, it appears to be a large shark entering the lake or a school of small fish," but also said, "It is definitely an interesting photo. It is worth discussing the existence of Nessie."
