Sure, I read that. Having doubts about the TIGHAR hypothesis is OK with me. Makes for a healthy dialog as long as both sides remain open minded about what is being discussed.
What is different is that this Blogger is actually doing some thoughtful research, not just casting doubt as in "could be an error. Don't really know". Sure, "could be" is something that can be applied to anything. "Could be" that the Electra landed at Rabaul, and AE transferred to a flying saucer that took her near Howland. Meanwhile the Electra flew itself to East New Britain and crashed in the hills where David Billings is convinced it resides.... "Could be, don't really know" - can't prove it didn't happen. Not very productive.
I'm not sure Mr. Blogger is entirely correct in his conclusions, but at least he's working on it unlike a lot of critics, and he spurred me to think differently about the sextant box issue, and in so doing I've noted a few things that might actually be productive lines of research to consider going forward that could link 3500/1542 with Noonan. Too early to tell, but that is how science works. Seemingly useless things sometimes turn out to be catalysts for moving forward.
I'm willing to collaborate with people who are trying to analyze data they've collected.
