Robert Ballard doesn't Vindicate TIGHAR

[quemerford]

Since there's a thread on here with a misleading title, I thought I'd post one that doesn't reek of corporate BS.

So. Anyone seen anything to indicate that the respected Robert Ballard is doing anything other than checking all bases?

Eggsackly: What Ballard is doing DOES NOT vindicate TIGHAR... not by a long chalk.

Now that I see that you actually do have a sense of humour Quemerford, I'll comment.... but say that: Ballard cannot have checked all boxes if he is following the Tighar line... The line he seems to be following is "The Bevington Object". He obviously has not read "TIGHAR and the TIGHAR SCIENTIFC METHODOLOGYz' on Page 4 in Vintage, which deals with most of TIGHAR's "Assumptions" ....

Only if Ballard is successful will vindication of Tighar arrive. Best of Luck with that...

Indeed. But it does go to show that despite the object being to unequivocally locate the site of Amelia and Fred's crash, the involvement of Robert Ballard has had some declaring 'mission complete', which is strange. It's almost like they gave up any hope of kidding folks they'd find something and have now declared success by another means.
