SCOTLAND, 29 August 2023: The Loch Ness Centre organized "The Quest"' event in partnership with the Loch Ness Exploration (LNE) after over half a century. The two-day hunt is the most extensive search for an unknown or imagined Loch Ness monster, nicknamed "Nessie", since 1972, according to organizers.
The Loch Ness Centre mentioned that they would use previously untested research tools on the lake, including thermal imaging drones. Hydrophones would also be used to capture underwater acoustic signals.
The largest search for the Loch Ness monster in the last fifty years took place in the Scottish Highlands on Saturday, 26 August, and mystery hunters gathered on a lake in Scotland to search for the mysterious Loch Ness monster.
Scientists and enthusiasts from around the world have come together to track down the elusive Loch Ness monster. Volunteers worldwide were sent to 17 locations around the lake to observe Nessie's markings as others boarded the ship. Meanwhile, hundreds of fans watched the quest on a webcam.
Hoping to solve the mystery, McKenna and his team circumnavigated several lakes and installed hydrophones. He said "weird noises" could be heard during testing on Friday.
However, on Sunday, at the same location, nothing was found.
The mythical creature arose as early as 565 AD when the Irish monk Saint Columba wrote about deadly floating animals.
In 1934, the British "Daily Mail" published a picture of what was claimed to be the Loch Ness monster. The famous "surgeon's photo" was later revealed to be fake, but it helped spread the image of the animal around the world.
Loch Ness, in the Scottish Highlands, is the UK's largest lake at 23 miles (36 kilometers) long and has a maximum height of 788 feet (240 meters).***
