The mystery of the rise and fall of Maya The mystery of Black Holes

2. Watch a video clip of the Nessise monster and have a pair discussion about it.
What do you know about the loch Nessie monster far as both the video and your knowledge are concerned
As far as my knowledge is concerned, the first recorded sighting of the Loch Ness monster dates back to 565 by Saint Columba, an Irish priest, although most people think that the creature first appeared in the 1930s. According to the video, what was and still is classed as the greatest piece of evidence for the Nessie was taken in 1960 by Tim Dinsdale. On the last day of his 5-day search, he noticed a dark object about half way across the loch. He started to film it as it moved across the loch. The film instantly became the conclusive proof, and still is the basis for more people's belief in the monster.
