The eyes of the world turned to Magnetic Island, Australia because of reports of a strange object in the seas that some suggest is the Loch Ness Monster -- or a relative.
Beachgoers first sighted what looked like "a distinctive long, curved neck bobbing up and down off the coast" on October 25, International Business Times reported.
Some of the eyewitnesses immediately noticed a resemblance to Scotland's most famous cryptid, Nessie.
Others believe the object is not necessarily the mythical monster and more likely the half-sunken hull of a boat.
A man named David “Crusty” Herron photographed what he is calling "Lost Nessie" from nearly 600 feet away.
“It was bobbing up and down in the water and at first I thought, what’s that? Someone yelled out, ‘It looks like a Loch Ness monster,’" Herron said, according to The Australian. “I've never seen anything like it - it could be anything. We are all wanting to know what it is.
Australian cryptozoologist Rex Gilroy said that "Lost Nessie" is most likely a dragon boat which sunk off the nearby city of Townsville earlier this month.
