Loch Ness monster hunters and researchers have turned to an unlikely ally: NASA.
The Loch Ness Monster, also known as Nessie, is a Scottish folklore sea creature inhabiting Loch Ness Lake (Scottish call lakes lochs) in the Scottish Highlands.
Aimee Todd, who serves as the marketing manager for Scotland’s Loch Ness Centre, stated, “We are hoping that Nessie hunters around the world will help us reach the people at NASA.”
Todd explained that “Experts from NASA might have some advanced imaging technology to scan the loch. We would have to sit down and talk to them about how to get it here.”

Here’s what The New York Post reported:
After 90 years of unsubstantiated Loch Ness monster sightings, Scotland’s Loch Ness Centre has turned to an unlikely source to aid them in their ongoing hunt for Nessie: NASA.
“We are hoping that Nessie hunters around the world will help us reach the people at NASA,” said Aimee Todd, marketing manager for the monster hunting institution, located in Drumnadrochit, per the Independent. “We are hoping to reach them through the power of social media.”

They hope that the space agency, and other experts, can help them in their latest search, which goes down on the 90th anniversary of the first-ever organized surface watch of Loch Ness.

Per The Independent:
The Loch Ness Centre, in the Highlands, has asked space explorers Nasa, and other scientists and universities, to lend their expertise in a new hunt for the monster.
Last year, one of the biggest searches of Loch Ness concluded with a hydrophone capturing loud underwater noises and several potential sightings.
The latest search will place on the 90th anniversary of the first organised surface watch of Loch Ness: Sir Edward Mountain’s expedition, from May 30 to June 2.

🤔 I'd love to think Nessie existed. But realistically . . . . .

Last year, the Loch Ness Monster was reportedly spotted twice in the same week.
