RECENT REPORTS OF SIGHTINGS
Sighting reported to The Legend Hunters which took place on October 11, 2004

Steve Garrity had a sighting on October 11, 2004 and gives some very specific details:

"On Thanksgiving Day (October 11, 2004) I was walking my dog on the sewer access roads on Lakeview Heights, which is about a half kilometer south of the bridge and just past the marina. There was a spitting of rain, the clouds were low and the light wind was coming in from the southeast. I was looking at the lake and admiring the swirls and patterns created by the wind when I noticed two objects directly in front of me at about 300 meters distance. They were the size and shape of two telephone poles floating on the water, and both were of identical size. One was slightly ahead of the other by ten meters and closer to me by about 15 meters. Both faced the direction of the bridge, with a rolling motion running along their spines and black coloured objects breaking the surface from below, and even some white water cresting over the formations. The forward object was far more active than the one behind it. In the total absence of shadows and not being backlit, there was no explanation I knew of that could account for the black protrusions coming out of the water. With the Ponderosa pines in the foreground offering a stable frame of reference, I noticed these objects were not moving and had been stationary for well over two minutes. They finally simply "melted" into the waves, not quickly or dramatically but slowly as if they were dissolving video transitions.

Still trying to convince myself that it had to be converging wave interactions, I searched the lake to see if I could spot a repeat performance elsewhere. As I climbed towards a better vantage point, I noticed that a sailboat went to the exact spot of the apparition. Obviously they saw it too and loitered there for ten minutes or so before moving off. The boat offered me a scale with which to estimate the size of the objects, and I would say it was about 12-15 meters in length.

I continued to walk the dog, heading south and gaining altitude while staring hard at the rambling water patterns, noting that some were being compressed into forming sharp linear lines but they were north-south formations, far less distinct than the objects I saw, which ran east to west. Then suddenly I saw something again at the exact same location! This time it was a single object, very pronounced and was visible for perhaps thirty seconds. The black protrusions were far more pronounced than before, rolling back and forth and randomly breaking the surface. I knew that this was like no wave I had ever seen.

It was when I went to the www.ogopogoquest.com website that I was convinced this was no strange wave. A video clip and specifically a picture of two of them in the same formation that I saw (Dan Basaraba photos), were exactly like what I saw. It was then that I was convinced that this was indeed Ogopogo and no wave. I have gone back to the same spot about eight times since and haven't seen anything remotely the same, waves or beast."
