Monster buffs don't need to dip their toes into cold lakes or brave the wilderness to search for their quarry they can scan a dozen square miles over a cup of hot coffee at their leisure. If armchair investigators are up to the task, they could monitor monster-inhabited lakes such as Scotland's Loch Ness, Canada's Lake Okanagan and America's Lake Champlain using satellite technology. Many lake monsters and sea serpents are reported to be 50 feet (15 meters) or longer, and surface regularly where they are seen. The idea that a satellite could capture an image of a giant monster is not far-fetched.


While early proclamations of Nessie having been found by a satellite have likely caused some red faces, we shouldn't be too quick to judge those who saw a monster where none existed.
