The photographs were captured by two different amateur Nessie hunters scanning different satellites on their iPhone and iPads.

State of the art sonar equipment, a yellow submarine and even a white witch have all been used to try to find the elusive Loch Ness Monster.
But it seems all you really need to track Nessie down is an IPHONE.
Mysterious images taken from space are making waves with Nessie fans – as they appear to show a creature swimming in the world’s most famous loch.
The pictures were captured separately by two amateur hunters, Peter Thain and Andy Dixon, as they used an iPhone satellite map app.
It had been feared the 1,500-year legend was over after 18 months without a recognised sighting, but now enthusiasts’ hopes have been raised again.

Andy, of County Durham, said: “It was by accident I came across it. I could see something big under the water and I saved it to my phone. My first thought was that it was the monster.â€
It could only be seen on Apple products but has been probed by the Official Loch Ness Monster Fan Club. President Gary Campbell said: “It cannot be a boat as there is no hull. It’s just below the surface – the size would make it likely to be Nessie.â€
William Hill offers a £1,000 annual prize for the best sighting of Nessie – which has been spotted 1,036 times since 565AD. The award is worth double this year as it went unclaimed in 2013.
