Still from ROV video

[Ted G Campbell]

What type brakes did the Electra have?  The picture almost looks like it could be a brake caliber.

Yes sir, I think so----would like to see another pic to verify that.

That piece is tough for me to make out. But, like Jeff said, there does seem to be some unnatural things there.
Does anymore of this video-or others exsist?

Yes, the youtube footage is very low quality. Ric allowed me to have one frame from the actual footage, quality x100 better than youtube. That's where I have been able to ge the best images from, one still from the original.

Do you mean the loop antenna for the DF Richie?
Like this one from the Nessie photo?
It's a bit too thin for that I suspect

[richie conroy]

Could be Richie, there's a lot of junk here that shouldn't be here, unless...

[richie conroy]

Ok, as promised here's another still from the reef shelf. It's about 18.5 inches from the first anomaly.

Jeff, Thanks for this thread and the research you're doing on the video.  Very interesting stuff.  I'm curious as to how you came up with that rather precise measurement of 18.5 inches?

On the Tighar website there is a photo in the 'Nessie hypthesis' page of the landing gear of the Electra with, convinently, an extended measuring tape. Using that as the basis for measurements of size of first anomoly and therefore distances on the reef shelf.
