Oh thank heavens! The previous posts had me hyperventilating a little!

[Ric Gillespie]

If that anomaly isn't the airplane Richie is going to hyperventilate when I send him the bill for the ROV.

[Monty Fowler]

I rather think you'll be buying him a pint, Mr. Gillespie.  ;)

haha Ric

I knew there was another reason for laying low  :D

If you do find wreckage and there is a debris field what kind of artifact apart from say the data plate, Would you bring to the surface ?

My apologies if this has been asked and answered before  :)

Ric has hit the road.

I don't expect him to visit the Forum until some time after his return to headquarters.

The team has protocols in place with Kiribati.  There will be at least one observer onboard with whom they can negotiate. 

I believe the ROV has only limited grappling capabilities.  IF they see something that looks diagnostic, and IF it is within the capabilities of the ROV, and IF the Kiribati rep OKs the recovery, then they might try to bring something back.

That's my understanding, at any rate, FWIW.

Thanks Marty

Has any thought been giving, To Take a rope with hook down via Rov to attach it, So ship could hoist the anomaly to shallower waters in diving range for better investigation ?

I know you all have missed my wacky ideas  :D

[Jeff Lange]

Oh that is so WRONG on so many levels Richie! The archeologists are spinning in their graves!

Glad it was just a wacky idea though.......

Good to hear from you again too!

[Gary L Kerr]

Let's all remember one thing about our hoped-for Niku VIII sonar target - it is the CONROY Anomaly, which forum member Richie Conroy first brought to everyone's attention, and which we are now going to try and get a close look at.

LTM, who tries to give credit where it's due,
Monty Fowler, TIGHAR No. 2189 ECSP

I agree that Richie deserves credit and I believe the anomaly should be referred to as the Conroy Anomaly as a matter of respect, irregardless of the objects origins. As a participant in the EPAC and having studied the 1938 aerial photos, I believe the area south of Seven Site is very interesting - especially the area of downed trees that seem out of place. Glad to hear from you Richie and happy you are O.K.
