My bet is that to be fully illuminated in 13,500 ft of water by '60s technology, whatever that thing is it's pretty small.

I agree... I don't think we had the technology back then to be shooting pictures at that depth. Most of our submersible technology cam out of woodhole inst. and there wasn't much funding for that back in that day. My other thought was.... how did they find it in the first place? Sonar contact? I don't think they were just taking pictures for fun on the bottom of the artic and out of nowhere they find this. I mean what was the motivation for taking a picture in the first place?
