Thanks everyone for your comments. Here are some additional comments.
Future Reconnaissance Flights:Darkwinglh, Sunflower & Billkirbywofb asked about the possibility of photographing additional locations. My plane & I are based in the Dallas area, but I make frequent trips to NE Texas to visit my folks. I have thought about taking a detour up to LeFlore County, Oklahoma, but I don't know which areas have had sighting reports. If someone can give me longitude and lattitude of the locations, I should be able to take some photos by the 1st quarter of next year. [I have a one year old future pilot that has slowed down some of my long flying trips.]
Also, I've thought about taking some photos of the Black Cypress Bayou and Caddo Lake area. Again, any GPS coordinates would be helpful.
Mercer Bayou Ground Exploration:I appreciate the comments of ARsquatch. Any help in finding a place to rent a canoe would be very much appreciated. I plan to use my photos to find the corresponding location on a topo map. Fyi, we took about 30-40 photos of the area, including downtown Fouke and a few of the Boggy Creek bridge (from a longer range out). If there are any particular photos anyone would like to see, let me know.
BONUS PHOTO!!! I thought our aerial expedition was a success, but we were -- of course -- hoping to capture a very special image. Well, after "analyzing" and "enhancing" one of the photos, we were able to find what we were originally hoping to see with our own eyes while flying. <<smile>> Hope it brings a smile to your face too.
The Boggy Creek AnomalyClick to view attachmentNot to be a jackass, and totaly looking out for you and understanding a good joke....But some that dont read, some that are new, and some that plain just dont check referances and jump to conclusions could start posting that in your name and end up doing your credability harm....might be best to put some sort of explanation with the picture, cause it really looks cool, damn good job....
BTW I was a kid to when that movie came out...it scared me on the level that Jaws did, and I will never forget either...remember the bathroom scene where it came through the window....burned into my collective brain.....
