TIGHAR, another wild goose chase?

How in the hell are they going to find DNA. My first thought that it will be well contanimated and deteriated. I may win the Lottery before they find any.

That will not bother them. They seem to always work out an answer and then bulldoze the ‘evidence’ to fit.

It should also be remembered that the two who run this are employed Tighar. Therefore the donations they get from rich people for this who believe all this ‘research’ also goes on their living expenses. Nice little deal if you can make it work.

Dodgy research, personally wouldn’t trust them as fas as I could spit a barbed wire coverd brick

Would they not be better off directing there resources/efforts towards the P38 on the beach in Wales that i’ve heard them linked to.. or is that better off without them getting involved anymore.?

Yes… to the latter.

It’s a theory they’ve been working on for many years – but have yet to come up with any definite proof although there is some anicdotal evidence. It’s not their first trip to Nikumaroro, they’ve been quite a few times and brought back various artifacts – but no ‘smoking gun’ as of yet.

Speaking of wild geese…I just learned of an expedition of their’s in my part of the world.
As we know, the group has spent a long time trying to prove what they found on the Pacific island as coming from Earhart’s Electra.
I just learned that to help them prove a piece of aluminum was from her plane, the went searching for an unmodified original Electra to compare the rivet spacing.

So that brought them to the mountains of Northern Idaho where a Northwest Airlines Electra crashed back in the 30s.

They got all kind of permissions from various agencies, and they mounted an expedition to the wreck site.
Of course, there was little left. After the crash, the only large remaining piece of wreckage was the rear fuselage which is what they were after (they think the island relic was part of the sidewall skirt and they say none of the surving Electras have an original piece with the Lockheed rivet spacing)…which of course, was removed shortly after the crash.

Still, you have to give them some credit… But I think there would have been less costly ways to determine whether there were any substancial remains left…before spending the money on an expedition that had little chance of providing what they were after.

Oppppps here we go again LOL.
The word “Mupets” springs to mind.
