Still from ROV video

[John Joseph Barrett]

Quote from the July 7th daily update "The ROV technician, Wolfgang Burnside, is seeing things in the footage that he wants to look at very closely."    Hmmm, I wonder what he sees in the footage. Kind of makes you wonder.....    LTM- who has always seen what no one else does.

It's that black squiggly thing that I want to see in close up, see original post in this thread. For the record, I still have no idea what it is, but, it was that which first caught my attention when idly looking at the ROV footage for the first time. Call it luck but, without that I would have simply accepted that the footage contained 'wire and rope' and nothing else of interest.
We shall soon find out.
And good luck to Ric, Wolfgang and all the rest of the expedition, stay safe.

There is more ROV footage Tom.
We estimated that there was less than 20% of 'whatever it is' visible in the 2 mins of ROV footage, note estimated.

I figured that there was alot more. You guys did a great job Jeff!

We haven't done anything Tom ???

The guys (and Gals) who have are on their way now. I just hope they get the result they deserve. I would be happy to settle for any airplane at this stage but hope it is THE airplane.

Hadn't noticed this bit before but, if you look closely...

[Tom Swearengen]

Well Jeff---IMHO---I think ya'll did. So---for what its worth---great job.

Jeff, it looks very much like a partially broken lightbulb to me. I don't know what type base the bulbs from that era had. Anyone know?

[Jeff Victor Hayden]

Broken for sure Woody. Screw in base would be better to combat vibration IMHO

[C.W. Herndon]

When I was still able to fly back in the 1990's we used a bayonet type base, just like in the cars of that time and much before. I don't when they started using them or whether or not they have since changed to a different type.

[Jeff Victor Hayden]

I'll see what it says in the Luke Field inventory Woody

[Jeff Victor Hayden]

Quite a few lamps/bulbs Woody in the Luke field inventory including a torch but, no information on the base type, Doh!

[C.W. Herndon]

If it gave any bulb types we could probably look them up but I don't remember seeing any.
