 Many years have passed since the famous "surgeon's photograph" was published in the Daily Mail on April 21, 1934, and interest in Nessie faded again, until in July 1951, a certain Lechlan Stewart, going to milk a cow, saw three humps towering above the water and floating along the shore. He rushed home to get the camera and managed to take a picture, but the device jammed just when a head on a long neck rose above the water.

Stewart was convinced he had seen some kind of prehistoric monster, but the curator of the Natural History Museum in Glasgow suggested it could have been three seals swimming one after the other.

Original news

La photo de Lachlan Stuart, prise le 14 juillet 1951 (figure 1), a elle aussi suscité nombre de commentaires. Certains veulent y voir la "tête" de Nessie (à gauche) et 2 bosses du dos du "monstre". Une étude attentive de la photo montre toutefois que les 3 objets ne sont pas dans le même alignement, et ne peuvent donc pas appartenir au même animal, à moins de supposer d'invraisemblables contorsions anatomiques.

On a donc suggéré qu'il s'agissait de trois "monstres" se suivant à la queue-leu-leu, ce qui n'est déjà guère crédible en soi. De plus, on ne note aucun sillage derrière les 3 objets, qui sont donc immobiles et rendent cette formation en file indienne encore plus invraisemblable.

Dans les années 80, un enquêteur révéla que Stuart aurait à l'époque affirmé qu'il s'agissait en fait de bottes de foin couvertes de bâches.

Hypotheses

List of versions containing features matching the eyewitness descriptions or material evidence

Deliberate falsification

This version includes any falsifications that imitate unexplained phenomena both from the outside: practical jokes, flash mobs, fake news, witness fraud, staging, etc.

There are many ways to make something similar to a ghost or a flying saucer from improvised materials, without using video and photomontage.

Many homemade things made for the sake of a joke, a practical joke or a direct imitation of a mystical being or event can be taken as unexplained not only in photos and videos, but also in reality.

Investigation

Versions testing, their confirmation or refutation. Additional information, notes during the study of materials

In the 1980s, an investigator discovered that Stewart claimed at the time that they were actually haystacks covered with tarpaulins.

News: A British politician has revealed the secret of the Loch ness monster

This week in the British Parliament there has been something very curious.

This statement was immediately intrigued cryptozoologists from all over the world.
