A new hunt for the famous monster has begun in the heart of Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands. The Loch Ness Center has asked NASA, scientists and universities for help.
Last year, the Loch Ness Center teamed up with Loch Ness Explorer (LNE) and hundreds of volunteers, both in person and virtually, to search the fabled waters of Loch Ness, The Independent reports.
The hunt, planned to take place from May 30 to June 2, will mark the 90th anniversary of Sir Edward Mount’s expedition and mark the first organized surface observation of Loch Ness, the report added.
According to Sky News, there have been more than 1,156 sightings of the creature since the first expedition in 1934.
According to reports, the Loch Ness Center has reopened after renovations at the old Drumnadrochit Hotel in Drumnadrochit, Scotland, where the Loch Ness monster was first reported 90 years ago.
Aimee Todd of the Loch Ness Center told news.sky, “We hope Nessie hunters around the world will help us reach people at NASA. We hope to reach them through the power of social media. We just Hopefully their expert guidance will help us continue our search for answers.”
“We went to universities in the UK. We wanted NASA experts to have some advanced imaging technology to scan the lake. We had to sit down and talk to them about how to get it here,” she added.
Volunteers are asked to keep an eye out for any sign of the Highland monster. Those unable to attend in person can still help by visiting the Inverness Loch Ness website to watch the live camera.
There will also be a screening of “Loch Ness: They Created the Monster,” a documentary about monster hunting in the 1970s and 1980s, and a Q&A with the director. You can attend live arguments and hear witness accounts.
