I think that it is just something that was washed down there from a storm. Who says it's set up there?

OK OK.............I put it there, damn it. I couldn't get the channels I wan.............umm..........well, suffice it to say I have a killer TV picture, OK???? Happy?????

Better not take any chances, time for the foil hats:

Did they bury the antenna in the sea because they were stealing premium channels from Mars without paying?

[DannyTN]

Darn! They found our trasmitter.

Galactic Entertainment's stock is going to fall if earth figures out they are a TV show!

[GluteusMax]

Weird.

I have experience with numerous antennas. Personally, a good dipole is best for anything in the shortwave bands, but I must admit that the old Antron 99 vertical is a great stick for punching out in the 10 and 11 meter bands.

I had an antenna, she was married to uncle lester.

Mr. Cathie considers 144, the harmonic recriprocal of the speed of light, to be an important measure of the earth's grid because it divides into the planet's 21,600 minutes of arc exactly 150 times.

Wow, isn't earth special? </sarcasm>

[Rudder]

It seems unlikely that an object could drop through three miles of ocean, and anchor itself on the bottom.

As opposed to what other outcome?

Heavy, steel, iron, etc., etc. objects can reach speeds over 400 mph if they descend in sufficiently deep water. (Read about the SSNThresher.)

A massive, steel and iron (foundation or step for the anntena on the ship) assembly breaks loose from its ship and impales itelf solidly in the bottom.

Not an unlikely event--right?

[SwinneySwitch]

What's the approximate size of the friggin' "antenna"?

WOW!!

And the square root of 144 is 12.

And if you then add the number 7 (a prime number! a prime number!), you get:

NINETEEN!!

See?

And a new mathematical concept is introduced here: the recriprocal!

Any relation to the reciprocal?

Looks to me like some nitwit tried to make a weather vane while in a drunken stupor, made several attempts, finally gave up and threw the whole mess overboard.

One comment: most objects at the bottom of the ocean, including metal, eventually acquire a coating of marine life and silt... this does not appear to have such on it.

[VadeRetro]

In 1964, the ship photographed an unusual object at a depth of 13,500 feet. At the time, there was no submarine that could have carried a piece of technology to this depth.

If I wanted it down there, whatever it is, I wouldn't try to "carry it down." I'd drop it from the surface.

Reminds me of Stan Laurel throwing Oliver Hardy a rope when the latter is stuck on a roof. "Tie it around your waist!"

[strela]

It seems unlikely that an object could drop through three miles of ocean, and anchor itself on the bottom.

Why? If there were a big honkin' weight on the end of it (like a transducer or power supply), the weight would sink first, taking the antenna with it and burying itself in the sea bottom when it hit.
