Fair enough.

You could be right.

I’m just skeptical that you are.

I don’t have a major preference one way or the other on this case. I just think it’s more probable that they are right.

The Carribean has been crossed and recrossed a lot of times. The article says "shallow", even under best circumstances that would make it less than 600 feet in depth. IF the image is evident on satelight imagary, it sure as shooting would have been visible from aerial platforms and definitiely by oil companies exploring for oil and oceanologists studying regions around islands, etc. And yet after hundreds of years, suddenly these alledgedly very extensive and well preserved 'cities' are suddenly found. There is more evidence of a toy factory at the North Pole than there is of these 'cities'

REasonable thinking . . .

However, I suspect there are some . . . features . . .

that are best from a longer perspective . . .

I’ve been wrong a few trillion times before. We’ll see.

I figured I’d guess on the wild side.

After looking at the pix, I'm definitely reserving judgment on this one.

let me know, please, if you come up with anything conclusive.

I did a little googling and didn't find anything decisive. This article turns up on several blogs where people are convinced Atlantis was in the Americas, although I did find some posts as skeptical as what we have on FR.

Here's what I can piece together. This site was found back in 2001 with side-scanning radar. It took years to get enough money to go back for pictures. They recently got a submersible down there but I only saw a couple of pix of that. Everything is currently being analyzed in Cuba.

So, the site is real, but we don't know what it might be. Ms. Z thinks it's a prehistoric mesoamerican site that sank when an earthquake hit an island between Cuba and Yucatan. She's for real, she's a Pole who studied engineering in the Soviet Union and was posted to a sub base in Cuba. She defected to Canada. She's married to a Canadian and they run an underwater exploration biz. Their claim to fame is finding the Maine. Obviously, they have access to Cuban waters Americans don't have.

Here's the negative part. Those pix are almost certainly not of the site. At 2000 feet down you can't see anything without illumination and even then only a few feet. In addition, here's an interview with Ms. Z and her husband. What's in the pix is not what he describes. http://www.dwij.org/pathfinders/linda_moulton_howe/linda_mh8.html

Further, the pix are in an online "virtual" newspaper as an "exclusive" and I found them on no mainstream news source. Whether the pix are a mistake or a hoax I couldn't determine.

Bottom line, something's down there, but what it is we don't know and given it's in Cuban territorial waters and Cuban academics are doing the analysis, we might not know for quite a while.

There was some for sale on Craig’s List. 150 miles or so West of Miami FL.

Looks like the reflection of a motherboard held up to a plane window while shooting photos of the sea below.

I had to check the date of the article to make sure it wasn’t five or six years old.

Yeah, there was quite a lot about it years back when this discovery was first made, then boom, nothin’, as if there were political problems (like maybe the Cubans didn’t want a bunch of science going on in their submarine areas) or cash problems (whatever institution was paying the bills didn’t want tinfoil hat publicity). My guess is, whatever is actually down there will wind up being ambiguous, like the formations (or carvings?) of Yonaguni.
