I see you are into reading scholarly and insightful journalism Mace.

I wouldn't call it journalism but it offers up many laughs does the Daily Fail.

It looks like a residual ghost image of a small boat near where two images are blended. I am fairly certain that details within the 'centre body' are bridge, well deck etc.

Probably a boat out looking for Nessie too.

There are all manner of weird artefacts in aerial imagery and satellite data caused by stitching material with temporal differences, and imperfect mapping of coordinate systems.

Yep looks like a ghosted image of a medium or small ship.

Or maybe it's a GHOST SHIP :O

God bless the Daily Mail. Only about two years late with this one....

Yes, it's a boat. I believe it's supposed to be one of the Caledonian Cruises boats.

That's no boat...it's a space station! Er, it's wake, rather.

I do believe that there is or was a Nessie and other cryptids that could be or could have been different things at different times. Perhaps there was or is a large plesiosaur creature there at times and out in the greater ocean. Perhaps at other times she was or is a large eel. Unidentified swimming objects are interesting and folks could be seeing different things at different times.

After searching about a little more, I think it is a boat wake and an image that has been blurred or overlapped and altered in some way. I believe this image comes from Apple Maps.

I just found this image on Google earth in the same Loch Ness but further up into the river. It has almost the same exact looking wake with two fin-like and a tail-like wake however this image definitely has a boat above the wake.

Perhaps the Apple Map image was just an unfortunate image altering do to the overlapping of images or ghosting as previous posters suggested or perhaps it was a willful removal of the vessel from the image.
