Around 600 people got just what they were looking for when they saw a 16-foot (five-metre) beast rise through the water.
However, Britain's Channel Five television admitted Tuesday that the startling vision was actually a 440-pound (200-kilogramme) animatronic model named Lucy which had roamed the loch for a fortnight.
The results were filmed for a forthcoming programme on Nessie.
The television channel said the public reaction ranged from those utterly convinced they had seen the legendary beast and those who know a fibre-glass and polyurethane rubber hoax when they see one.

Actually, it's not near as interesting an experiment as it is just another very good example of how mainstream media has completely abandoned reporting facts and opted to make drama. A news agency duped citizens to get their reaction.
That's Candid Camera isn't it?
Loch Ness Monster: The Ultimate Experiment
Channel 5 Sun Aug 28 7:00 PM
(90 min., United Kingdom)
Why does the Loch Ness Monster hold such a grip on the nation's imagination? This film sets out to explore the world's most enduring monster myth. Britain's leading special effects engineers build an animatronic creature which is launched on an unsuspecting public with the aid of a specialist diving team.
Can they create a convincing Loch Ness sighting and persuade the public that Nessie really does exist?

To show how people can convince themselves that they have seen the monster they should have put together logs, seals, ribbon fish etc that can be misidentified by people "wanting" to see Nessie.
