INDEX TO EVENTS ON THIS DAY (CLICK TO GO):
1972 [TUE] Loch Ness Monster Sighting (Dr. Robert Rines, Dr. Harold E. Edgerton)
LOCATION:
Loch Ness, Scotland
WHAT HAPPENED:
How do you get pictures of the most famous monster in the world,
especially when the place where he (and/or she?) lives is filled with
muddy, murky water?
Using an advanced system of sonar equipment and strobe lights (developed by Dr. Harold E. Edgerton of MIT for underwater photography) an expedition of the Academy of Applied Science, led by Dr. Robert Rines, set out to see if they could beat the odds.
On this date in 1972, luck was with them, and some images from the sonar equipment and underwater camera showed a large object moving near them.
