How This Ledger Reads Satellite Cryptid Reports

House method: named press + register/agency path, status honesty, no specimen leap — with the live Loch Ness file as exemplar.

Added Event Last watched Cited

Sources Internal method note; Inverness Courier Loch Ness coverage as cite-only exemplar (18 Sep 2026)

Locale map

Citizen satellite and basemap reports arrive as screenshots, forum posts, and occasional named press. This ledger’s house style is short and reusable:

  1. Prefer named public outlets and any official register or agency path over anonymous threads.
  2. Separate pixels under review from specimen claims.
  3. Label status honestly — usually open until a chart, wake, or sensor artifact explanation lands; hoax when an explained candidate is clear.
  4. Never host news screenshots of Google Earth crops without rights; illustrate with PD/CC geography only.

The live Loch Ness Google Earth family file is the working exemplar. This note does not duplicate that case; it teaches the template. Status cited as method documentation.

Evidence ledger

Each claim in this file, the source it rests on, and how well it holds up: 2 corroborated. What the labels mean.
