A strange S-shaped formation which appeared on weather bureau radar off the West Australian coast was not caused by cloud, the bureau says.

The shape was spotted on the weather bureau's radar map on Wednesday about 30 kilometres west of Rottnest.

After checking the satellite, the bureau's Neil Bennett ruled out the phenomenon being caused by cloud.

"There's no cloud, there's nothing to produce a rain echo, ... which we do see a lot, but not this particular shape," he said.

"They don't take on S shapes and things like that.

"The radar that we use are there for the detection of precipitation, it's basically just a beam going out and hitting the rain droplets or ice particles from hail.

"Sometimes the beam itself rather than going straight it gets bent back to earth and you start to pick up reflections from the ocean, rather than rain droplets."

The ABC has asked the Department of Defence whether there are military operations off the coast which may interfere with radar activity.

The department is yet to comment.

The WA Weather Group has seized on the photo and retweeted it to their followers.

"Nice that our pet #RottNessMonster has avoided the shark baits. Her name is Susan & she likes to eat plankton," the group tweeted.

"And I, for one, welcome our new giant sea serpent overlords," Perth Sunrise Prints tweeted.

"Frequencies, Pitches, Tones and Energy"

As the Director of the only Institute in the Nation that offers an approved Associates Degree in Sound Healing, and co-creator of the World Sound Healing Conference, David Gibson has developed a unique perspective on everything going on in the field. David began as a Professional Recording Engineer. He has been teaching, engineering and producing groups in major studios since 1982. He has been studying esoteric systems of sound healing for over 15 years and has an in-depth understanding of the underlying physics of sound.

David is also the author of the best selling book, "The Art of Mixing" that uses visuals to explain and show every style of mix in the world, which makes complex structures of mixes easily understandable. His second book, "The Art of Producing," uses the visual framework for displaying sounds to explain Music Theory. Gibson is also the inventor of the Patented, "Virtual Mixer," which uses 3D visuals of the mix to control mixing consoles and computerized mixers. He is currently working on a Virtual Reality system where you can step into an image of your own body and be able to place visuals inside the body in 3D. The visuals will then move sounds up and down in a Sound Table so you feel the sounds inside the body exactly where you are seeing the visuals. David Gibson is the Founder and Director of Globe Institute.

David has a bi-weekly show on BBSRadio, Station 1, Saturdays at 5pm PST.
