Hi Jon,
After a long dialogue with the scientists analysing our expedition data (Professors Paul LeBlond & Ian Montgomery) we now have received their comments in full and have today published them for the first time.
Here is a link to their comments and scientific analysis, released to CFZ first as I know you and your bloggo community were keen to read them.

Kind regards

The good professors must hold degrees in patience and diplomacy!Prof.LeBlond leans toward the mudbank theory, while Prof. Montgomery thinks if it was anything it would have been a gator, but isn't anyway.Then he makes the sorely overlooked point that regardless of whatever was in the pics you need a darn sight more evidence for an unidentified species than just a photo, like something with DNA in it !To get such they would have to get a bit closer than buzzing over it in a plane.
ReplyDeleteHow to retrieve samples? Bucket and spade should do!
