CNN’s “Paula Zahn Now” Tonight

I will be a guest on CNN tonight, Friday, June 1, 2007, between 8-9 p.m. ET, on Paula Zahn Now, discussing the Gordon Holmes Nessie footage. Yes, this video is exciting a lot of people, but I wish it would have happened some other week, from a purely personal point of view. As the producer was trying to convince me to come on the show via emails and several calls – my first priority, after all, is that it’s my son’s senior prom this evening – she says: “There is a tremendous interest in the story (the most popular story [...]

Best Nessie Footage Yet?

Can you see bumps on the head? A new enhancement of the Gordon Holmes Nessie video, appears to show closeups of the “neck” and “head” popping up out of the water, thanks to Bill Appleton. Major news organizations are demonstrating thoughtful interest in this cryptid footage.

Here are some photos of the model, in two different color versions, with [...]

It is great footage that seems to show a hump, and then a long neck (perhaps even a head). Eel? Seal? Cryptid long-necked seal? Nessie? Unfortunately, without any reference points, the next question has to be: How big is this? Also, as I’ve said before, film footage is a form of an eyewitness’s experience and needs to be investigated as such. Background checks and a history need to be created on Gordon Holmes. [...]

Update: Nessie Video Posted

Below the image from the video is the news report containing the videotape by Gordon Holmes of the unknown in Loch Ness.

New Nessie Footage

New video footage, apparently somewhat compelling, from Loch Ness has been taken by a scientist, Gordon Holmes. Cryptomundo has technically been unable to upload the video, but you can view it here. [Update: The reported broken link, noted in early comments, has been corrected.] Below is Holmes at the site of his filming. Gordon Holmes told the Yorkshire Post I was sat in a lay-by about 70ft above the loch – it was 10pm but the sun was still shining on the mountains on the other side. I was minutes from going home and I had only gone up there [...]
