At one point,  government officials were seriously considering drafting new legislation  to protect the animals, despite the fact that no one could even be sure  they existed. Eventually the government concluded that:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cThe legislative framework to protect the monster is  available; provided she (or he) is identified by scientists whose  reputation will carry weight with the British Museum.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In 1965, additional files show, the British  Royal Air Force\u2019s Joint Air Reconnaissance Intelligence Centre at RAF  Brampton analyzed film-footage taken on April 23, 1960 &#8212; by eminent Nessie researcher Tin Dinsdale &#8212; that purported to show a large, unidentified, round backed creature navigating the loch.
