Dan, Dan, Dan...
We can no longer interrogate Gallagher. We can no longer interrogate Emily. Who knows when we will hear from Jeff Glickman as to the Bevington object or anything else?
The Bevington Object, as I pointed out to Jeff Glickman, gains credibility not from some contorted forensic analysis that lacks independent verification, but from the acceptance of the assertion that both landing gear assemblies lie (985 feet below sea level, less that 3 meters from one another) just several hundred feet West of the calculated position of the Bevington Object.
Now I know you are loathe to take my word for it, but I have seen both landing gears in the Extra High Definition Videos from both 2010 and 2012. It seems highly unlikely to me that the Bevington Object could be one of these, but nothing is impossible. The landing gear assembly that is most intact, however, appears to be attached by chain to the rest of the aircraft wreckage, so if anything, it must be the other. Gallagher never saw the aircraft. Lambrecht never saw the aircraft. I am prepared to offer the hypothesis that the aircraft was washed over the side of the reef before 9 July 1937. What I see on the bottom leads me to believe the two gave up because they received no response to their radio distress signals, and decided they were not prepared to endure an Outward Bound type of experience.
I am not allowed now to show further pictures of these objects, or of anything else underwater. But I will report to you that today I found 10 stamped letters, presumably commemoratives carried by Amelia Earhart, near the hooked end of the HF antenna. Every day there is something new to find.
Mr.Mellon, your views are completely contrary to Tighar's hypothesis and evidence.
Now you suggest Earhart and Noonan went down with the plane so as not to endure an "outward bound experience"?
And you have now found letters, paper letters laying on the ocean floor, to go along with banjos you have seen, and toilet paper rolls you have seen among the underwater coral, just how much more bizarre can this get? Perhaps Amelia wanted to read some and play some fiddle as she waited her drowning?
Mr.Gillespie has a reason you can no longer post pictures, I would imagine it has little to do with readers not having the proper photos and film work.
It is because these daily assertions defy common sense and give two decades work a bad association and the forum was over run with nonsense.
But you ask the readers to accept your reality over a forensic examiner's experience and to suspend common sense?
Personally I would accept Glickmans "contorted forensic analysis" on the Bevington photo any day of the week over this unsupported "viewing" of total non sensical biodegradable items on the ocean floor.
This realm of make believe is the sort which spirtualists and shaman propose in which ectoplasm and chicken bones betray known physics. There is no difference. Make believe is still Make believe and nothing you propose makes the slightest rational sense.
Your views will never be accepted seriously even by the most hopeful of Niku proponents, so you may wish to rent a boat and retrieve the goods. I assume you have the resources as your signature suggests.
They should be on a basketball court sized area, all laid out and easy to find. Perhaps this summer a trip can be made for Banjo retrieval?
She is waiting, Good luck!
