Could it be fresh footage of the supposed mythical creature living beneath Scotland's most mysterious lake?
   
Loch Ness monster watchers sure hope so.
   
Gordon Holmes, a 55-year-old a lab technician from Shipley, Yorkshire, took video Saturday of, "this jet black thing, about 45 feet long, moving fairly fast in the water."

Marine biologist Adrian Shine, who viewed the video, called it, "the best footage I have seen." He hoped to properly analyze it in the coming months.
