Are you a foodie or something?
Nah, I’m just a guy who likes to think about people being showered with shrapnel.
Would that make it a clamoyster mine?
I believe that Red Lobster digs in one of those.
Former U.S. Air Force intelligence officer and pilot, Tony Romeo, captured a sonar image of an aircraft-shaped object resting on the bottom of the Pacific Ocean last month, he told The Wall Street Journal .
Romeo believes the image to show the remains of the Lockheed 10-E Electra piloted by Earhart when she vanished without a trace.

Surely this looks like Amelia’s plane?
It’s 16,500 feet below the surface.
It’s either Earhart’s plane or an angry Pac-Man.
That’s exactly what her plane would look like after sitting on the ocean floor for 85 years.
But the problem is that there are lots of other things which would look the same with this fuzzy image.
Well yeah, but how many of them would be in that location at the same time someone is spending $millions scouring the ocean floor looking for her plane in that location?
Both links are paywalled so I don’t have more details but I would expect a number of other such unlikely coincidences like he was running out of money. There’s no chance all those things would all happen at the same time.
Hitting the ocean, wouldn’t it look more like a clam that has been opened with C4?
It’s worth investigating more, especially to get a scan from multiple other angles.
Unfortunately, the bottom of the ocean is littered with random stuff that can happen to look like just about anything. I don’t know the dimensions of her aircraft, but that image shows a fuselage about the same diameter as one wing’s span. It doesn’t rule out an actual aircraft, but makes me skeptical.
This is what I said back in 2014:
And I have the same reaction today.
A fuzzy image that might or might not even be a plane isn’t enough to get excited about. Sure, it’s worth a closer look, but we’re not even sure that it’s a plane, and we’re definitely not even in the same ballpark as identifying it as even a similar model of plane, let alone her specific plane.
Thanks.
A sub has now visited the site, and what was mistaken for a plane was actually the correct translation of the Voynich Manuscript.
Unfortunately, they were crushed before they could send it back to the surface.
Ouch!
This is on NBC Nightly News right now.
Remind me, is Voynich where “14 k of g in a f p d” came from?
