Hi Tim
I understand what you are saying, So imagine what Ric and the Tighar board felt like having all there years of hard work about to blow up in there face, The image seriously had Ric and co questioning there own hypothesis, So why not see forum members responses to the image when they seen it, The forum members only had to wait a couple hours to speculate what the object was, Jeff Glickman showed Ric the anomaly on return flight from New Zealand and had to wait weeks for Jeff to get back to him with results.
The image only came to light with the study group last week with the "what do you see in this image" question and was days before we were told what the image was meant to show, Now as shocking as it sounds i did not even notice the plane like object instead i found what looks like an A carved into floor and asked Ric if this is what he meant, So imagine what i was thinking when Ric pointed out what he and Jeff thought might be the Electra right there mangled up at the end of what looked like skid marks....
My Thought being "And yous have the cheek to say we see camels in the sky at least we only claim to see airplane parts and NOT a whole crash site and that, if the pilots who took the photo's had missed it, Then they shouldn't be piloting a plane...
For me what happened with this image was a good thing, As we got to share in the up and down moment of it, And proved even Jeff and Ric can get things wrong sometimes
Anyway sorry for waffling on about it, I just found this whole episode an eye opener and hope u Tim C will understand why Ric done it
Thanks Richie
