The lack of elucidation is what annoyed me with the special on Discovery too.

Here is another photo, not quite as bright as the one above. What really annoys me is that with the spy satellite capabilities we have, why can't we focus one of them on this anomaly for long enough to get a really good picture taken? Or perhaps they have, and choose not to release the picture. Who knows.

well.. don't get me wrong, but I've seen quite a lot of thest pics in my travels, and still nothing to convinve me. Whilst some pics certainly would beg for a follow up, I remain unconvinced. but since I already et, my hat is safe for the moment:-)

You can order up an Ikonos image of anything you want. You just have to pay for it... It isn't cheap. And governments have more pressing interests.

If our spy satellites can read a license plate or the text on a newspaper they surely can focus in and get photos that will end the controversy once and for all.

I also find it hard to believe that a wood structure over 2,000 years old and exposed to the elements would still be intact. Yes it happens. But what are the chances of this 1 particular structure surviving?

This is the photo in your post #14, lightened, cropped, and enlarged. Looks like an outcropping of rock to me, but what do I know?!
