"Quest for the Normandy Nessie Monster" Madeira Beach, FL - In October, a man reported seeing an unexplained creature (estimated at 20 feet long) swimming in the canal behind his house. Since then, he reported seeing the mysterious animal 3 times in this month of November. In order to shed some light on the mystery, the man purchased a surveillance system which enabled him to monitor & record video of the canal. Several times, he captured something large swimming in the water. Experts who have seen the footage conclude that the best explanation is that it's a manatee. Is it a manatee? Could it be an exotic snake that isn't indigenous to these waters? Or could it even be a snake with a slight mutation? I didn't expect to find any answers whatsoever over a 5 hour period, but I wanted to see this area for myself since it's such a unique news event. On November 20, 2009, I set out from Orlando to Madeira Beach in order to hopefully catch a glimpse of something swimming out in the canal. This is a 3-part video where I try to find my own answers to these questions. If you don't know who I am, I'm a Real-Time Strategy gamer, but I've recently made a new channel in order to release my new series of 'Adventure' videos. I'm not an animal expert by any means. You will see: - My drive to Madeira Beach - My interview with the man who reported this creature - Underwater observations with a team of researchers from USF - A very brief encounter with a local newsreporter - My footage of the canal-area - Conceptual Art of Normandy Nessie - My thoughts on the whole thing MISCELLANEOUS - the USF team's equipment consists of 3 computers, a Didson and an ROV. 1 computer monitored the ROV ("Remotely Operated Vehicle"). 1 Computer was used for video clarification for the ROV. And the other computer was used for monitoring the Sonar.
