Suddenly my house shook as a super sonic jet screamed through the sky heading towards the loch. I got my binoculars out and saw a balloon deflated, plummeting towards the water&#8221;<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Professor Kettle was also out on his Loch Ness Research Project boat taking hydrophone recordings at the beginning of Nessie&#8217;s mating season. He expressed concern that the noise would unsettle the famous monster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I really want to protest about jets taking down balloons over Loch Ness. We know there is a problem with tourists launching lanterns over the loch but I am assured by the Highlands of Scotland Tourist Board that they have it under control. We don&#8217;t need military action in this scientifically sensitive site.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The balloon is one of many UFOs seen at Loch Ness every year as it is believed to be part of an energy line including the Bermuda Triangle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Professor Kettle also pointed out that there are suggestions in the American media that the US air force may have spent $1 million shooting down a toy balloon. <em>&#8220;The Northern Illinois Bottlecap Balloon Brigade reports that one of its $12 balloons vanished 11th February.
