Our scientific expedition team spent seven days scouring the Atlantic Ocean for the lost Mariner aircraft using side scan sonar and a magnetometer. Initially, I had requested a two-week window for our search but constraints on the resourcing of the project limited our group to one week. As we established our search area using GPS and Hypack, the goal was to "mow the lawn" around the Naval coordinates. Because of our short window out on site, our entire search pattern and our resources were predicated on the Naval coordinates being somewhat accurate.
As we thoroughly examined over 5 square miles around the Navy's coordinates, over one hundred acoustical anomalies were detected by the side-scan sonar, about 5 magnetic anomalies were found by the magnetometer and several targets were examined by our divers. Mark Padover, our technical expert from Aqua Survey (as well as myself) have continued with examining all data collected and we will be putting together our findings for a final Naval Historical Center report by the spring of 2006. Although we did not find the huge, potentially intact engines and tail sections of the airplane, we do not have conclusive evidence that any of the supplemental targets might not be that of our Mariner. The last magnetic hit that we got about an hour before we ended our search was very interesting and would of been a good target for our divers to visit.
In conclusion, we found some very interesting acoustical and magnetic targets. We dove one major piece that we were not able to conclusively rule as a piece from the Mariner. That does not mean that we didn't find a piece of the Mariner, just that we could not identify it as such. In a project debrief, it was felt by all the scientists that we were extremely satisfied with all the search patterns and decisions based on establishing the location of the aircraft. We were all in agreement that had we done the project again, the exact same logic and methodologies would of been followed and applied. I would like to send a personal thanks to NBC, namely Tim Beacham, Jon Schreiber and Lester Holt, for their support on this wonderful project.

hey, im doing a project on the bermuda triangle... any research you have found that could help me out would be great!

The bermuda triangle, extinction. Both of these have many different theries behind them but none have been proven.
Have you ever thought of this? That both of these were tied together. What happens if before the " big bang "
something might have affected the triangle, that might have caused the entire ecosystem to react in such a way
that it created the big bang.
The bermuda could also be the center of our weather network. It has the most shifting weather in that area
that it might have also caught all those airplanes and boats off target. If that is true than what we are doing to
earth could cause yet another extinction, but this time we will be the prehistoric creatures.
The dinosaurs might not have been the first
on this wonderful planet. Dinosaurs have been extincted for 160 million of years, they could not have possibly
been the first to venture this earth. We find their bones ( fossils ) deeper than 50ft below underneath the soil,
image a prehistoric creature that died trillions of years ago they would be thousands of feet below the ground.
Just look where the triangle is placed, right over both of the largest shark reserve. Sharks have been alive
before dinosaurs even evolved.The triangle would be the one place in the world we will have to protect, because
it is the one place that has been standing from when this planet started.
I know i'm saying if alot but look at all the other theries. Fancy ways of saying if, maybe or possibly.
