Modern technology has failed to find the fabled beast. A BBC search team, hoping to put some meat on the bones of 1,500 years' worth of "sightings," recently used 600 separate sonar beams and satellite navigation technology to look in the deep, murky loch. They got loads of loch data but no Nessie. In fact, they couldn't find any big animal in the water. Call it a monster disappointment.
