Divers using an underwater camera took a closer look, he said.
And the divers didn't necessarily share their findings with the out of state sonar guy.
Sonar produces vague images, side sonar produces more clear images and divers with cameras could produce the clear images that CO has described. MPD has been tightlipped since the beginning so reading between the lines is necessary.
Correction - Article from last April. Sighting was in March.
That's right, RG. Look at how many extremely clear pictures they have of details on the Titanic--pictures taken in the dark depths of the North Atlantic! And they are pictures of LITTLE details.
I'm surprised a freepers would be so uninformed as to overlook the wonderful technology they have nowadays, including underwater cameras and robots!
I beat you in posting that article. See #317. :-)
I read in one article that they can see a tire at 300 ft. and like someone said on here, look at all the perfect images they got of the Titanic.
Thanks RGS.
When the object was detected in mid-March, the image appeared to be a body but there was doubt.
"It appeared to be a body, but we never got a close look at it," he said. "Wind-generated waves made it too dangerous to take a closer look at it."
When they returned a week later, the object was gone, Ralston said. He said the churning created by large ships using the channel could have moved the object.
Ralston, the sonar operator was working on another job, said he would return to finish the work.
A Larry King transcript, dated June 15, 2004, defense attorney Chris Pixley said, Remember that they had side-scan sonar going through the bay for months. He continued, Scott says he was fishing, the logical question is going to be, why have we still not found the anchors?
