EINPresswire.com/ -- For over fifty years, New York native Kelly Tabor has searched for "Champ," the legendary lake monster, rumored to live and lurk in the murky waters of Lake Champlain. Summers were spent at her family's lakeside cabin, looking for Champ. But Champ never showed.
Until now.
The intrigue surrounding Lake Champlain's elusive creature continues to grow following the recent release of drone-footage captured by Tabor and Richard Rossi, her lifelong friend since school days. While producing their highly-anticipated indie-movie, "Lucy and the Lake Monster," loosely based on Tabor's childhood, they spotted in their drone footage what appears to be a large animal swimming in the lake (bottom right of screen). As the buzz from initial media coverage reverberates through headlines, the duo is eager to share a deeper glimpse into the technology and experience behind their groundbreaking discovery.
The Tabor-Rossi Champ footage, captured by their DP's drone, has been hailed as the most compelling evidence in decades for the existence of a plesiosaur-like species in Lake Champlain, which borders New York and Vermont. This opinion is further supported by a preliminary scientific evaluation that paves the way for a deeper understanding of what lies beneath the surface of this iconic lake.
Deconstructing the Drone Footage
The precision of drone technology played a pivotal role in capturing five exhilarating minutes of footage that not only highlights the beauty of Bulwagga Bay but also frames the enigma of Champ. The drone allowed for a marked improvement over the famous Mansi photograph of 1977. With the inclusion of a boat and verifiable geographic coordinates provided by eyewitnesses, the footage enables scientists and enthusiasts alike to scale and analyze the potential dimensions and anatomy of the creature in ways that were previously impossible.
"The ability of drones to capture imagery from above offers us a unique perspective—one that has the potential to ask new questions and reveal new insights into the mysteries of Lake Champlain," said Rossi. "This isn't just about capturing footage; it’s about using technology to foster a genuine scientific inquiry."
Expert Analysis
As excitement builds around the footage, Tabor and Rossi are collaborating with specialists to conduct rigorous tests and analysis of the footage. The scientific community is being engaged with the findings, which will be further disseminated in an academic article slated for peer review in the coming year. The emphasis will be on morphological assessments that could provide important information aligning the characteristics observed in the footage with those of known plesiosaur anatomy.
Tabor shared her thoughts on the experience: "Having the opportunity to capture this footage was surreal. It felt like stepping into the pages of a legend. We spent hours editing and reviewing footage, and in that moment, when the drone captured something extraordinary, it became a blur of excitement. It's a moment I'll cherish forever."

Katy Elizabeth was born in Warwick Rhode Island. Katy is a world-leading authority on the Lake Champlain Monster. Katy has been studying the existence of Champ since she was a child. She made her lifelong dream into reality when she had her own sightings of this elusive creature on Lake Champlain. It prompted her to start her own group called "Champ Search."The group's goal is to study, investigate, prove the existence and most importantly protect the unique animals that inhabit New York and Vermont's beautiful Lake Champlain. Katy currently resides on the shores of Lake Champlain in Ferrisburgh VT. In 2018 she was honored with an official world record as the only full-time Dedicated Woman Lake Monster Hunter in the world. Also in 2018, Katy approached the town of Port Henry NY known as the "Home of Champ" with a written resolution to protect Champ. In April of 2018 this law was passed. She has been featured on the History Channel, Discovery Channel, The Science Channel and NBC.
