Rich...Thanks Jon for posting Richard's comment. Richard had asked me to add it before you got it in, but I couldn't seem to make the posting part work either at that particular time.<br /><br />In regards to the later sightings by the Pauline, I indicated in a reply to Richard that ANY report of a 60-foot-high periscope is AUTOMATICALLY suspect. The most tactful way of putting it would be that some sort of a mistake must've been made by jumpy crew members who reacted in a fashion close to hysteria. At the very least, the size of whatever-it-was must've been blown up out of all probability, probably in line with the exaggerated measurement for the presumptive head and neck in the initial Pauline sighting. It might have been nothing more exotic than a whale's tail seen briefly while diving.<br /><br />And Richard's remark about the Almas messages is in reference to my group, the Frontiers-of-Zoology, during the course of which I pointed out the Mongolian white jade skull replica comparble to a Neanderthal skull, subject of an earlier CFZ blog posting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16505569.post-77146159318389503302010-06-20T23:18:53.446+01:002010-06-20T23:18:53.446+01:00RICHARD KING WRITES: I have trouble getting a mess...RICHARD KING WRITES: I have trouble getting a message posted to the CFZ blog. Today I tried to post a message in reply to Dale's blog and it did not work even after four tries. Here is the reply I wrote.<br /><br />looking at Dale's scale drawing and then at the captain of the Pauline's drawing you can tell that there had to be some kind of mistake. 30 feet for the head and tail parts either way is half the whole length of the whale. The drawing made by the witness does not show anything like that it shows a part supposed to be the head only 10 or 12 feet long. And the supposed loops around the body are bunched up together in front like they would be if they were actually only tentacles reaching back out from where the whale's mouth would be underwater.<br />Dale didn't mention the follow-up sighting of the 60-foot periscope by the captain of the Pauline but I gather that he puts no stock in it.<br /> <br />Incidentally, great series about the Almas lately, Dale!
