I'm copying my comment from the other thread:
I listened to an interview with the owner of the company on the radio this morning. He's a commercial real estate investor who sold everything near the start of the pandemic (smart). He then decided to form an ocean exploration company to search for things like lost planes and ships and such. He chose this as his very first search because he was curious, but also because he wanted to generate publicity for his company. They set up a 90-day search mission and were filming it for a documentary. And they found the object on literally the very last day of the search. They say it could be the plane, but that it could also just be a group of rocks in the shape of a plane. He's already gotten one [person? company?] to hire him to look for another lost item underwater and had other inquiries.
Honestly? I don't think it's the plane, just a guy drumming up publicity for his new business, especially since it's in a field that he's not established in. They're going to go back and either not be able to find that image again, or it'll turn out to be a bunch of rocks. Possibly even a bunch of rocks they spotted earlier and came back to in the last day with the idea of "eh, close enough" for publicity purposes. As for the image? Remember this?
One of the reasons my ex hated me is because I was skeptical about everything.
But in today's modern age, everyone's a grifter and I have yet to see video or photos of something clearly a ghost or ET.
Amelia Earharts wreck has been sought for so long, and has had many false positives. Since there is the smallest wiff of a grift here, I think we can safely say, yeah I'll believe when it's recovered.
My ex hated that about me too. She absolutely despised it. When we got together I thought she was like that too, but she was mirroring my attitudes about things.
By the end she was saying “law of attraction” and reading tarot cards.
It's magic stones and government coverups here >.<
This whole search was as useless as those plane shaped rocks. Wait a minute.. There's a plane behind those rocks!
Ah yes, the Face On Mars
And just below it, the Dugong of Mars. Proof of sentient dugongs on the red planet
