The Sun is still in the sign associated with the oceans and mysteries, Pisces, so perhaps we shouldn't be too surprised that the recent 'Atlantis Discovery' story refuses to go away. It has, of course, been totally refuted. However, such was the interest of Joe Public in this story that, after the initial denial from a representative, Google asked two of the scientists who collect the undersea data to put their side of the story. It appears here under the title Atlantis? No it Atlant-isn't .Meanwhile I've received a few messages from the couple who made the initial discovery - Cynthia and Larkin Jones. There was a dispute over who had first noticed the apparent seafloor anomalies - the Joneses or Bernie Bamford - and this is what Larkin Jones had to say on the matter. It's a touching letter and I'm sharing this dialogue because I feel compassion for them, if they have been wronged by Mr Bamford, and for all the wasted effort. How would you feel if you thought you had made the discovery of a lifetime only to have your hopes cruelly dashed and ridiculed!?
Dear Kathryn.. We have the documentation that gives a chronological dateline from the point of discovery, to the establishment of our website live on the Internet. This all predates Mr. Bamford's claim to finding this anomaly and clearly establishes our claim.
I'm 54, retired from the U.S. Air Force and served as an Air Traffic Control Radar Technician. During my time in the military, I observed many strange radar and meteorological phenomenon. It was this life's experience, that sparked my interest in researching those things which most people never seem to notice. I guess you could say that this, was the first step towards making this Google Earth find... but Cynthia is by far the best discovery of my life. ( AHHHH, isn't that lovely- it moved me. K)
Kathryn, we don't have a problem with you using any of our correspondence, just please correct our typing errors. (lol) After the many hours spent learning how to build a web-page so that we could invite the world to explore our find, it's rather disappointing to see someone else get the credit for it's discovery. Though it is possible that many people may have run across this image on Google Earth, our research showed that nobody at our time of discovery were aware of this anomaly.
Seems like Larkin, out of everyone should know what Sonar can and can't pick up then - eh?. Here's the next letter:
Kathryn. You had it right when you wrote this statement "Anyway, Google is saying that what can be seen on their maps is nothing more than a remnant of the map making process itself, whilst those who love a good conspiracy are insisting that Google's denial is a little fishy!" And now the the U.S. Navy has set-in on this downplay of this sea floor anomaly... WHY? The Navy story is that this strange anomaly is nothing more than sonar echo-sounding integrated with computer data to produce the graphic image seen on Google. If they were just testing their sonar's abilities, why would the U.S. Navy travel all the way to this spot to test their equipment... sounds a whole lot fishy!
The truth is out there. Why is there so much downplay of this site and it's discovery... Could it possibly be that this site lay within an area that might be used for HIGH LEVEL RADIOACTIVE WASTE DISPOSAL? This ancient grid discovery is real and not the results of inherent sonar imagery problems.
Kathryn, I thought that you might interested in seeing just how fishy things might really be.
Have a Great Day!
Sincerely,
Larkin
Now, either the plot thickens or we have a wonderful Neptunian bit of delusion fever afoot. I know which side I am veering towards but what do you think? Answers/questions to the lovely Mr Larkin please.
Update latest:
Hi Kathryn,
Thank you for your continued interest as this story unfolds.
I have found some interesting information on the radioactive waste issue. Here is the link to that info.
On the second page (pg.#48) of the article posted on this site, it shows a map. If you look at the west coast of Africa, the second dot west of the coast sits almost directly over the ancient grid site. I think this may explain the U.S. Navy's interest in this whole thing.
Just thought I'd share this info.
Sincerely,
Larkin
