The wind was not a westerly that night, and air traffic radar did not detect the object, though it notably did not cross any active flight paths at a height where it could have been in danger.<br /><br />The best explanation, little green men excepted, was that the device was a fairly primitive drone aircraft launched by the UK (or US with the connivance of the UK) military, to see how much notice people take of bright UFOs which are obviously not civilian aircraft. I am fairly certain that the military involved would have been pretty chuffed at the overwhelming lack of interest taken in the thing, and remember, this was well before the reprehensible practice of releasing fire lanterns into the night sky became common.<br /><br />People are simply not all that observant at night. Generations of poachers have always known this, and no doubt many metal-detecting nighthawks also know that at night, people are remarkably unobservant. Indeed, the crop circle talks at the Weird Weekend also demonstrate this fairly conclusively as well; even when people are out looking for folk who shouldn't be around and are up to no good, it is very easy to disappear.<br /><br />A naturally cryptic water-living animal ought to have no problem at all staying out of sight of people.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16505569.post-5064887715062238052010-12-05T21:45:40.697+00:002010-12-05T21:45:40.697+00:00It seems Nessie is pretty much boxed in Loch Ness ...It seems Nessie is pretty much boxed in Loch Ness because if she tried to swim the other way towards Fort William she would have to pass through...(Cue the music) Dan,dan,dannnnnn.Neptune's Staircase!Gasp,gulp,shock,horror!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
