			I have been following your journey since the start and all i can say is you guys are looking in the wrong place!

			The plane wreckage is in the water on the inside of Nikumaroro Island!

			Here is a picture i have pulled off Google maps to show exactly where it is, I've searched and searched the area and there is no other reef that looks like this one, it is a man made structure in the water!!

			I would also like to be the one credited when the discovery is made of the plane.

			thank you and look forward to hearing from you guys soon.

			::''Received in e-mail 24 July 2012. Our perceptive friend will be given credit if and when the discovery is confirmed.''

	TIGHAR receives about two Google Earth sightings of the Electra per week, on average. Some may be rejected out of hand because the aircraft would have to be the size of a Boeing 747 (the planform of the [[Electra]] was 55' x 38' 7"); others such as the "Electra on land" in the gallery below are rejected because TIGHAR teams have covered that part of the land or the lagoon and know for certain that what appears in the Google Earth images are not half-buried Electras.
