Look what my mom just hooked me up with (kismet).
Just in case we ever need an example of a triple pane window.

Update to the OP:
UPDATE July 10, 2015:
I contacted the owner of the cottage, who graciously agreed to take a few photos and a short video from the same location. These prove conclusively that the "UFO" is simply the reflection of a light in the window:
You can see the reflection of the curtain in the window, just like with the "UFO" photo, which demonstrates that the UFO photo was taken indoors. The light reflections here are a little bigger, as the light was moved closer to the window, but they are the exact same shape, color, and doubling as in the UFO photo, which proves conclusively that the "UFO" is simply the reflection of a light in the room.
Many thanks to the owner of Bunloit Farmhouse for taking these photos and video!

That's awsome. and they did remove/trim down that bush, i was gonna ask you to ask her about that. It is a beautiful spot to rent!
Wow, good work from the cottage owner. My sceptical side assumed they would want to preserve the UFO mystery as a "selling point"!
Another update from HuffPo.

Monstrous Controversy Rages Over Loch Ness UFO Photos
...
In the image below, at left is a close-up of the original photo taken by the Betts family. At right is one of the more recent pictures, which seems to show a reflected lamp.
So, who's right and who's wrong? The Betts say the picture was taken outdoors, and West claims the photos prove otherwise.
Has this UFO mystery been solved to everyone's satisfaction? To YOUR satisfaction?

How would you know if you can't see them? If the UFO photo claimaint is to be believed, they never noticed the UFO's until they got home from the holiday and reviewed the photo's. (Bit like IR LED's) not visible to the human eye but camera's pick them up, apparently.
I think the brain eventually learns to filter out reflections as unimportant, otherwise we'd be constantly freaked out by strange lights in the sky. We can tell they are not there because they move when we move, so we subconsciously ignore them, hence we don't remember them.
I was just in Vegas at the TAM convention, and took this photo of some "UFOs" and strange beams of light over the Luxor:
In the photo the reflection is quite apparent, but all people saw were the storm clouds.
I noticed the "UFO" lights, and framed the photo to get them, but that's because I'd been thinking about such things a lot. I did not notice the "shaft of light" to the center left. My brain filtered it out, but the camera sees all.

Perceptual filters are a fascinating thing. I try not to think of them too much. They make my head hurt trying to understand.
Edit: why is it if I look at something with my head upside down or sideways I see it right side up? I can't even consciously revert the image. These things bother me.

I think another reason why people did not immediately recognize this as a reflection of some lights is that they are looking down to the lights, and you'd expect to be looking up. It's a combination of the high vantage point of the farmhouse over the loch, and the low position of the reading lights. Both are a bit unusual, hence the brain leaps more to interpreting it as something outside.

It seems so very stupid that if they have all this really groovy high tech why don't they use it? If it's so great and "invisible" what ever, use it and get rid of ISIS or whomever else you want to eliminate. Heck even those you don't want to eliminate? Certainly you could include self destruct technology to destroy any part of such systems that may be "captured". But, if it's so cool it should not be a problem to worry about it falling into the wrong hands? Possibly it is already in the wrong hands?
Isn't the master plan to eliminate any undesirables and then control the planet? Stop wasting time with the slow, ineffective and expensive chemical spray program and get down to the killing!

because your eyes are only data collectors. it doesnt matter which direction your eyes are facing. The brain takes this data and processes it appropriately according to it's database. in other words, your eyes themselves dont actually "see" anything. The brain sees.
add: you basically have a little "level" in your head. so your brain knows how askew your head placement in space is at all times.

Which leads to some interesting illusions. The following image is the same upside down as right way up, but your brain flips bits of it.

That's a standard part of the way just about all ghost and UFO stories are reported. They always say that the photographer never noticed anything at the time and only noticed something strange when the photos were downloaded to their computer. It's become cliched at this point.

Well Loch Ness IS one of Scotlands most visited tourist hot spots, and as the NWO like to hide all their black projects 'In plain sight', Loch Ness would be the perfect place to fly them

Are we so transfixed on the "UFO" that nobody noticed "Nessie" sneaking into the photo from the left?
