I hope this is a joke

Aside from the points Frank brought up, it should be noted that you cannot conclusively prove a negative.

D'oh. Why didn't I catch that...

Oh, in case anyone's wondering about the quote I mentioned concerning Nessie, it's from a kids' book on creationism. It's couched more carefully than I thought, but whatever...

(All emphasis added.)

Everyone has heard about the Loch Ness Monster, affectionately known as Nessie. And everyone has an opinion as to whether Nessie really exists or not.

[...]

Some scientists believe Nessie and relatives travel between the North Sea and Lake Ness on the River Ness, to feed on migratory fish.

One of the reasons it's so hard to see anything in the lake is that the lake is filled with very fine particles of peat suspended in the water.

Serious scientific investigation finally began in October of 1970 when a group of scientists probed Loch Ness with high-frequency sonar. "Something massive" passed through the sonar beam, and 10 minutes later "similar but larger objects were detected from greater distances." Two years later an ambitious investigation began and had similar results. Something is down there, but what? In 1975 an incredible (but fuzzy) underwater photograph was taken of what some believe to be Nessie. Based on this photo, above-water sightings, and other photos, some people believe Nessie to be an Elasmosaurus.

Sonar does not work like radar; the sonar waves spread out over distance...

At any rate, there's a lot of scientific tomfoolery in this book, but at least it gets certain portions (mostly related to how fossils are recovered) correct... not that I'd ever recommend it to anybody.

Errm, it comes from a UFO conspiracy nut site. It makes references to another well known UFO conspiracy nut's site (Richard Hoagland's Enterprise Mission, featured on what was the Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell program, which we all know to be a bastion of science and rationality.)

This immediately makes the source less-than-credible. And worse, they're clearly grasping at straws, trying to find patterns in noise.

So really, it's all B.S.
