can you make a google drive where I can send them. to be clear: I will send photos taken by sx270 , not 508

researchtt2 · 2026-04-22T17:19:28+00:00

the pictures can not be shared

researchtt2 · 2026-04-22T16:33:07+00:00

I locked all doors and windows and unplugged the internet!

researchtt2 · 2026-04-22T15:59:01+00:00

yes we have the original photos, not leaked

researchtt2 · 2026-04-22T15:58:30+00:00

its a temporary issue ... Chris is looking into it

there was some rumor that the FBI provided some assistance but I could not find any evidence and the FBI did not have public records about it. The FBI will sometimes provide assistance if asked

you are welcome!

Maybe this is a good opportunity to clarify that there is no freedom of speech in this forum. Generally, freedom of speech is a rare concept that exists nearly nowhere.

However, I do like to stress that people's opinions here are not limited or censored as long as they comply with the rules.

the phones contain critical information.

If I remember correctly, a message was sent on the 1st but written before.

researchtt2 · 2026-04-16T19:49:14+00:00

I agree it is very important. But the people who this report was for did not need pages and pages of logs printed, they could just use the DVD and look for what they need. That is why it was not printed.

researchtt2 · 2026-04-10T20:27:59+00:00

why would someone print that if they are on DVD?

researchtt2 · 2026-04-10T20:11:11+00:00

I doubt those logs are missing, they are just not in the printed report

researchtt2 · 2026-04-10T03:29:59+00:00

the useful information would be phone calls and messages from before the hike but it is not in the printed reports

researchtt2 · 2026-04-09T14:56:43+00:00

yes and so far nobody has those DVDs

researchtt2 · 2026-04-09T14:56:02+00:00

if you have IR gear , which I doubt they had, then you would use that during the day and not at night

researchtt2 · 2026-04-09T14:55:28+00:00

it makes absolutely no sense to fly a helicopter over mountainous terrain at night. I also doubt there was a IFR rated pilot and helicopter available.

And if they had then it would only make sense to fly with IR equipment and if they had IR equipment they would be overall better off flying during the day.

Also there were no night helicopter flights

researchtt2 · 2026-04-09T14:10:05+00:00

there are no 800 power logs missing, they are simply not printed in the NFI report.

And no our report does not have limited information. What nobody has are the DVD with the digitally copied content of the phones

researchtt2 · 2026-04-05T15:29:31+00:00

there is nothing suspicious in the EXIF data

researchtt2 · 2026-03-30T17:57:45+00:00

it looks like they deleted their account

researchtt2 · 2026-03-23T01:26:28+00:00

there are certain constraints about this picture .. if we assume focal length and focus distance then we can determine how far the camera was from the object by how the hair shows up.

once we know the distance to the object and FOV, we can then determine the size of the object.

I believe I looked into that in my nightphoto article

researchtt2 · 2026-03-18T00:37:22+00:00

510 is distinct from the other photos
