Nobody has provided any explanation for the two targets seen by Operation Deepscan, and no one feels the need to either. That bothers me, and I agree with you GB that the DNA data may be open to so interpretation to the point where it is dismissed out of hand.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15978847580481593172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-358999656752738469.post-74669858104993052822018-06-01T03:39:24.772-07:002018-06-01T03:39:24.772-07:00A.

It will then either give perfect match to known species or it will come out as something close to a known species.

Folks it will be inconclusive - interesting but nothing concrete. Loch Ness would never allow any test of her waters to reveal a yes or no as to her mysteries. A recent article stated they will take 300 separate water samples from different depths, at least they will have variety! <br />This will continue the mystery and not solve it. Results will produce inconclusive data. Something unexpected will turn up and they will require further analysis. Loch Ness has too many variables. I would hope they test all sides top to bottom, bed samples, side samples, silt samples, samples from the most undisturbed water in the Loch.<br /><br />One thing is certain. If they leave ANY room for error this test will be inconclusive. Adrian Shine should be involved in this test and a guide to the Loch. He would know how to produce the clearest results as far as samples go.<br /><br />I think this is exciting and I hope they find results that are extraordinary, results that defy logic!!!!! I also hope everyone gets it right and studies those deep dark waters.<br /><br />J.

Perhaps lake monsters in general are known species in the 99th percentile of age and size and with physical features different than younger members of the same species. No new DNA would show up in this case...

Im all for trying out new ways of finding out if there is anything to the mystery! But if new DNA was found how wud it proove if it belongs to a large creature?? Wud no new DNA proove there is nothing there even though the water volume is huge and there might only be a few of these creatures?? I dunno lol but if new DNA other than the normal fish and wildlife turns up it could be exciting times at the loch! Good luck to everyone involed and if im up at the loch when they are there i might even buy them a tennents or two lol....RoyROYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07593737226241908577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-358999656752738469.post-58109651304806478372018-05-22T02:49:28.222-07:002018-05-22T02:49:28.222-07:00Incredibly exciting times.

Are they able to detect DNA that is unknown, or can they only match up strands to known ones? How definitive do they feel their tests are? And what if they only detect firm matches with known animals, with no weird, slightly different, results?hopkarmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04721458738337150295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-358999656752738469.post-9534727188779025692018-05-21T17:11:12.314-07:002018-05-21T17:11:12.314-07:00Very intrigued to see the results.
