here is another oddity

look in yellow box at hole and then survey photo for any others

Richie---just to the left of your yellow bow, there are 2 verticle anomalies, that resemble fuselege ribs.
Also on this attached pic for way back in january-----can you clean up the 'engine& prop feature?

i will try Tom

due to distance from camera there is very poor lighting :)

Tom Swearengen · June 05, 2012, 08:51:20 PM

ok---can you do something with the time stamp, or put it in relation to another picture or frame that we can piece together? Looks like there might be a pattern here.

i have tried removing time stamp, as it blocks a couple objects that look identifiable

i am positive if the Rov Footage was stitched together properly, it would reveal something that is not just coral reef ?

if u go back a couple pages

this is LWhite image which i think is excellent to get idea of were objects are in video

here is link to it https://tighar.org/smf/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=571.0;attach=2281

Ok---I was thinking that the 'engine/prop' pic showed the port engine and part of the fuselege, and in was in a crevasse/fissure. It has some reef/coral covering part of it. I assume that might have been from it sliding down the slope of the reef. I say that because it appears to be 'lower' or further away than the rest of the features in the picture.
Anyone have thoughts?

This is how I see this part of the... Tom
First image shows the main wing root remains outlined in red. The blue lines are where I expect the main spar to be, or used to be (there's a convinient gap in the main wing root at this point). The engine remains, yellow circle, and wing are off in the distance.
Second image, actual.

Jeff---we are probably looking at or near the same place, but at slightly different times in the footage. But----i think something is there.

richie conroy · June 06, 2012, 07:58:01 AM

this is further down hill, look were arrows are pointing there is some strange shapes among the rubble

richie conroy · June 06, 2012, 08:27:59 AM

any idea's what this hook shaped object is ?

richie conroy · June 06, 2012, 08:31:05 AM

here is view of surrounding area

Tom Swearengen · June 06, 2012, 09:26:10 AM

Dont know about the 'hook' or clevis looking thing, but the flat surface that it 'appears'to attached to has a linear break with another flat surface. 'Like' a horizontal stabilizer with an elevator, or a vertical (laying flat) with a rudder. Oh man----I'm in trouble now--

richie conroy · June 06, 2012, 12:34:41 PM

Don't know about everyone else, but this picture clearly shows an anomaly were Tighar think the plane went over reef

This photo is a snapshot of the picture, in the aerial tour of Niku by Ric on YouTube

Tom Swearengen · June 06, 2012, 01:39:17 PM

there is something there. The fissure in the reef is right where TIGHAR says it is, ans pretty close to where the Bevington object is- or was. I wonder if Jeff Glickman can do anything to enhace this like the Bevinton pic--
