Archaeology Channel ^ | 01/15/2025 | Kyle Solomons

Posted on 04/03/2025 6:49:22 PM PDT by Az Joe

The Taraia Object is the commonly used name for a visual anomaly in the lagoon of Nikumaroro Island in the south Pacific Ocean. Its location is alongside the Taraia Peninsula, which projects southwestward from the north side of the lagoon. The Object is visible in satellite images, aerial photos, drone footage, and video footage of the lagoon. Its location is directly east of the Tatiman Passage, which connects the lagoon to the open ocean. (Satellite image)

The theory is that over time the wreckage is covered by tidal action but then a very active typhoon uncovers part of the wreckage, but over time it is covered again.

Yes, and I wonder if she’s still alive, trapped inside that plane?

I heard those deep diving vessels that went to the Titanic heard tapping noises on the hull doing Morris Code asking to be rescued.

Howland is a fly-speck of an island. My guess is they overflew it perhaps circled looking for it on their last 15 minutes of fuel and crashed in the ocean.

IT’s been speculated that her trips were part of the US Intel/China Clipper operation whereby the US set up stopovers at strategic locations for the US China trim. Particularly of interest were existing infrastructure that could support or easily made to support Clipper (and later US mission) operations.

Seems like a custom one to advertise Viagra would make a lot of sense.

Archaeological expeditions are just HIGH CLASS GRAVE ROBBERS getting some government money to look important, no money, no archaeological investigation, after all Professionals don't work for free, unless your working under the nose of some mucky-muck who can put in a "GOOD-WORD," on your thesis, if your kissing the right A$$.
