It promised the world views of the entire planet from their laptop. But could Google Earth have unravelled our favourite mystery of the deep?

One internet fan claims he found the legendary Loch Ness monster in satellite images on the virtual globe.

Security guard Jason Cooke said the 65ft oblong shape followed by thin strands is actually the highly contested creature supposed to inhabit Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands.

Jason told the Sun: ‘I couldn’t believe it. It’s just like the descriptions of Nessie.’

Nessie enthusiasts believe the creature is a plesiosaur – an aquatic reptile that appeared at the start of the Jurassic period and is widely believed to be extinct.

Some claimed a series of vertebrae uncovered on the shores of Loch Ness were ‘proof’ that there was a living plesiosaur in the Loch.

Adrian Shine, a researcher on the Loch Ness project, called the new images ‘really intriguing’ and said they deserved further study.

The Loch Ness Monster has been a subject of mass intrigue and debate since it came to the world’s attention in 1933.

Scientists have widely written off the idea as a modern-day myth and continued sightings as set ups and wishful thinking.

Yet it has remained a contested phenomenon for almost 80 years.

The latest tantalising sighting can be seen on Google Earth using the co-ordinates Latitude 57°12’52.13″N, Longitude 4°34’14.16″W.

Police released video of the incident — which shows the customer climbing out of the car to get his Filet-o-Fish sandwich – and Rashon East, 34, turned himself in. The suspect says he and his children saw the footage on TV.

South Brunswick Police say the man in the Route 1 McDonald’s smack-down video has turned himself in as of 11:30 a.m. Monday. Police say after the video was televised they received a number of tips identifying Rashon East, 34, as the culprit.

The suspect said he and his children saw the video footage of the assault televised and he decided it was time to turn himself in. Police have charged the late-night muncher with simple assault and making terroristic threats. If convicted, East could be sentenced up to 5 years in prison.

l he wanted was a Filet-o-Fish sandwich, but he lost his cool and things got out of hand from there. Police say East paid for his order, but became angry because he felt it took the worker too long to bring his sandwich. That’s when police say East, of New Brunswick, climbed through the pickup window, hollered at the employee, then pushed him against the counter before threatening him then slapping the worker in the face.
According to the State Department of Corrections, East served 30 months in prison from 1996 to 1998 for a drug conviction. He was released on a complaint, pending his first court appearance on April 13.
