i maybe going crazy :-X but does anyone else think the object circled could be a dial of some sort

Jeff

could it be possible, what i have marked off in rover image, is what i have marked off in the Electra cabin

JVH,
I weighed in on this back in January and again in late March. It still looks like a headset to me.

Yes, I recall you did Dan. IMHO it does look like like the skeletal remains of a headset but again, it's down to scale. I think the best we can say is that it isn't coral. It is man-made, that's for sure. There's a lot of stuff down there that is difficult to get any detail and clear images of but, this image is pretty clean. Doesn't mean it's from an Electra though. We shall see...

Could very well be Richie. Again, in the lower picture, the 'black mark' in the foreground isn't a 'black mark'. It's a tear in aluminium alloy, the black appearance is created by looking through the tear into the darkness beneath the aluminium alloy. Look at the edges of the 'black mark', thin, regular shaped, aluminium colour. There are a couple more 'black marks' like this one in the area and, I'll put up some pics later to show the similarities.
If they aren't what I theorise then, any one got any ideas as to what they are? :-\

i thought that black mark was a oil, poss from a cylinder breaking open recently ?

richie conroy · April 21, 2012, 12:19:49 PM

look at this shape as well that's silvery ?

Jeff Victor Hayden · April 21, 2012, 12:22:05 PM

The shape of the 'black mark' is too 'engineered' to be an oil spill Richie. The general appearance is of a 'corrugated' sheet of aluminium. There are similar ones around this area. I don't think oil would stick around for too long given the currents and tides around the reef.

Richie,

Do you know the physical size of the Nessie print? 4x6, 8x11?

Thanks.

Hey Richie---as much as I hate to admit it, the last pic is difficult for me to interpret. I think, for me at least, I'm going to let the new expedition determine what is down there. You have worked wonders, but actually being on site is probably better than doing the work from UK. I'm SURE ( :o) we'll get to see those images. And I'll bet that if once on site and they need some things to look for, they will send an all hands message asking for help. You should be very proud of your work---and your new wife should be proud too.

Tighar

only need to look in shadows of last rover dive to find what we seek,

i think there is sparse things to raise to put on exhibit, but what they do will be worth going to see ;D

In all of the 79 pages of this thread, apart from one piece of what appears to be a wire cable which could have come from anything in the last century, all I see is amorphous lumps of coral. It might help speculation if at the very least there was a scale in the images because without that essential tool everything is nothing more than imaginative guess work.

richie conroy · April 21, 2012, 07:19:53 PM

is it poss on 11:19 mins on video, it could be gardner an norwich city wreck on reef ?

it's lucky then that the new search is based on what is seen on top of reef,

obviously Tighar's evidence in search of amelia, is more compelling than anyone else has give

so u have to give respect were respect due

one thing is for sure, there is stuff on the reef face that are not natural coral

so we shud know either way by mid july :)
