Researchers have recovered a cleverly constructed camera trap deployed at Loch Ness decades ago. The device was reportedly discovered by accident during tests of the notoriously-named autonomous underwater vehicle Boaty McBoatface. As the yellow submarine was being put the proverbial paces in Loch Ness, its propeller caught the mooring of the camera trap. Subsequently, it returned to the surface with the unusual jar-like object in tow. While the vessel's operators from the National Oceanography Centre were initially uncertain as to the origins of the strange relic, researcher Adrian Shine of The Loch Ness Project later identified it as a relic from a monster hunt long ago.
