Enter NY Times best-selling author
Steve Alten. His latest thriller, The LOCH, is being praised by scientists for
its thought-provoking research and cutting-edge theories. According to the
author, there really is a large predator inhabiting Loch Ness, but you’ll never
see it during the day.
Says Alten, “the romantic notion, encouraged by
the Highland tourism industry, is that Nessie is a friendly plesiosaur, an
air-breathing marine reptile that went extinct 65 million years ago. In
actuality, the creature is an amphibious fish, more related to a species that
migrates into Loch Ness each Spring from the Sargasso Sea. It’s quite large,
prefers the depths, and when it surfaces, it’s at night, usually during the
winter months.”
Forensics Investigator and Nessie researcher Bill
McDonald of Mesa, Arizona agrees. “Not only did Steve get the science right, he
injected logical common-sense conclusions in regard to the lack of photographic
evidence, how the monster entered Loch Ness in the first place, its age,
species, and exactly why previous attempts at locating the creature failed.”
Meanwhile back in Scotland, the Highland Council have kept quiet about a
4-inch barbed tooth, discovered in a mutilated deer carcass in March by two
college students, later confiscated by authorities. “If the tooth is real, and
it appears that it is, then DNA tests will blow the lid off all the conjecture,”
says McDonald. “It may also put a dent in Highland tourism, which tells you why
the Authorities would prefer this all just go away. But with $100,000 in reward
money hanging in the balance, it won’t be long before the tooth shows
up.”
