Recently, there have been several sightings of the famous Nessie and its counterpart in the US and Canada called "Champ".
At the end of May, the first report arrived from Invernes. During a voyage of the Jacobite Queen on Loch Ness, five sonar signals were recorded. These signals were so strange that experts have yet to explain their origin. Isolated signals had occurred in the past, but these were usually attributed to radar errors. The Jacobite Queen was equipped with sonar in 2007 to record any underwater anomalies in the loch.

The next reports came from Oakledge Park in the USA. The author of the video writes: "On Sunday, May 31st at 5:30 [a.m.], I saw something amazing on Lake Champlain. I managed to record the creature, but I don't really know what it is."
The video shows something that looks remarkably like the classic Nessie. Its head is too large to be an otter or a swimming dog, as seen specifically at the 1:31 mark. The size of the wave also suggests the animal must be larger.

In addition to ancient legends, sightings of Champ date back to the early 19th century. He has reportedly been observed and photographed over 300 times. The best photograph to date dates back to the summer of 1977, taken by Sandra Mansi.

A few days later, the author officially presented his observations to the journalist.
His name is Eric Olsen, he's 37 years old, and he's registered on YouTube as "mookiebone." Experts are still trying to determine what kind of animal is seen in the video. They say it could be a moose. The video is considered authentic, but what's seen in it remains unexplained.
On July 4th, angler Carl Roberts and his companions were fishing near Wilcox Docks when a strange creature caught everyone's eye. The fishing was excellent until 8:00 PM, when suddenly everything changed. The lake was calm, with no wind. The creature appeared 100 meters away. The anglers estimated its length at 15 meters, even clearly seeing its protruding back. The group watched the creature swim toward the harbor. It didn't swim like a snake or a dolphin. The anglers could accurately describe the animal's black-green skin. Before the peninsula, the creature disappeared underwater and never resurfaced...

The British Columbia-based Daily Courier reported that two scientists have agreed to examine the remains of a mysterious animal found at the edge of Okanagan Lake. The tissues will be sent to one researcher's laboratory in Ontario, Canada, while the other researcher, based in Alberta, will receive the remaining remains.
The remains were discovered two weeks ago by Kelovna resident Dan Poppoff while kayaking on Okanagan Lake, near Lakeshore Road. Poppoff is currently storing the three-foot-long remains in a freezer at his home.
Poppoff remains skeptical of claims that the mysterious carcass might belong to an Ogopogo specimen, a legendary animal that inhabits Lake Okanagan. However, he is keen to examine the remains and determine their identity. He has even contacted Arlene Gaal, a Kelovna resident who has been reporting Ogopogo sightings for many years.
Gaal is now making recommendations on how to send the tissue and remains to both researchers, but is avoiding naming the remains.
"If I had named them something, people would have immediately swallowed it and stopped being interested in investigating who these remains might belong to. I can assure you that both researchers are very competent people, experts in their fields of research. They both work at universities," Gaal said in a press interview in June.
Gaal does not know when the test results will be released, but he hopes it will be soon
