[Update] Ogopogo image?


In the last MQ episode covering Ogopogo, they featured a young couple who provided MQ with a strange image of what looked like a 6 to 10 foot long tail of some sort sticking out of the water as a speed boat passed by in the distance. The passing speed boat help gives the viewer scale as to the size of the strange image.

I remember MQ calling the image an "exclusive" shot, but I haven't been able to find it on their website or any other website for that matter. Has anyone else here found that image?

UPDATE:

I just found an image on Cryptomundo.com and this is the image that was taken by the young couple along Ogopogo's cliff shore:

It is a bizarre image to say the least. I would like to see it blown-up by computer for more defination. The speed boat gives it a little scale and by that it's got to in extremely big. To big and to wierd of a shape to be believable.

It doesn't look like a tree that has surfaced by gas from decomposition. It is to thin and only that long part out of the water. That does not seem possible but there is also no shadow of a creature or a part of a tree under the water either, so a fake perhaps.

It doesn't match any other sightng of this "monster." I can't think of any creature living or extinct that has that long narrow neck/head (or tail) and the ability to rise that far out of the water. Sea snakes can raise about 1/4 of their length out of the water but buy the scale of this picture that snake would have to be well over 50 feet in length at least. The part out of the water is longer than the speedboat.

It's strange, I would like more info on that picture. Has it been looked at by a scientific eye? Computer enhanced? etc. I just can't buy into this one but MQ sure bit didn't they. This picture faking idiot became a lake monster expert in short order. Makes me wonder if they really investigate these people before they turn on the camera.


(On the sea snake theory, you have those dumbass brothers from San Francisco who took the video they claim is of several water snakes <100 feet in length that visit SF Bay on a regular basis. They claim to have had several up close and personal encounters with these serpents. Yet, all the evidence they have is this grainy, shaky video at distance. Why can no one who films a monster hold the f-ing camera still?)

I honestly don't see anything strange in that picture and whatever it is, it's to far away to make out anything I don't see how monster quest could say it's a good picture

I agree, it's not a good photo to consider a "candidate" for Ogopogo since most if not all Ogopogo descriptions allude to a long dark colored serpent that moves along the surface like a snake. This doesn't look like that, and if anything resembles a modern light post or a discarded piece of boat mast of some type.

If you look closer at the pic you can almost see what seems to be a circular wake surrounding the object created by the passing speed boat. It almost makes me think that perhaps the people in the boat were working on their own attempt to create an image of a lake monster. Speculation on my part of course, but MQ had no problem using this photo as "evidence" to support the claims of Ogopogo's existence.

Furthermore, I thought the eyewitness account by the guy who took the photograph was very weak or somewhat poorly re-created by MQ to make the speculation even stronger. They could have at least asked him to re-create his steps and the order of his visual account...much like the woman who took the famous head and neck image at Lake Champlain.

I too, that they pushed this photo after the top. It looks like a smear in the phot, and the object was so small, it is very difficult to see what it was.

I find it funny how MQ actually took this guy on the expedition in search of Ogopogo. All this guy did was take a not so great picture and yet he was able to go on the expedition. Why? It makes no sense why he had to go.

according to some posters on cryptomundo.com that guy who took the photo had an exclusivity clause with MQ and I think part of securing the "rights" to show the photo on the show was to give himself more exposure as he is also an amateur sculptor/artists who wants to push his own Ogopogo memorabilia. So, in essence he's just capitalizing on the hype generated from his supposed "evidence".

I believe something is at this Lake, too much evidence shows something large lives there. As far as this photo, this is not Ogopogo, just lake junk.

Many photo's, Video, Ecolocation. If you have those 3 things which we do, then something is in the lake to be studied...
