Weirs Cam Observations

Cal · 05-21-2006, 12:16 PM

I found a towel off the NASWA in 8 to 10 feet of water a few years back. Could be something like that.

Jimmy Hoffa??

Merrymeeting · 06-05-2006, 01:43 PM

Still there today....

Kevin, the Hoffa theme was suggested earlier.

It's too perfect a square and too consistent to be sand on the bottom.

Perhaps when they are done rebuilding the barn in NJ, we can get the FBI to investigate and tell us what it is!

Esquire · 06-05-2006, 03:03 PM

I don't see it as of 3:01pm.

True....but they didn't find him in Michigan did they?

As soon as the NWS restriction gets lifted we're going over and finding out what that thing is ! I'll haul it out and hold it up for the webcam to capture

Which leads me to thinkin ... can the new wonder webcam tilt up, pan and zoom a bit ? Mebbe we can see the new single boat marina on Eagle I. ? And that thought makes me wonder if anyone captured the webcam output last Sat ... around 3am or so ??

Merrymeeting · 06-14-2006, 04:03 PM

In looking at the webcam the other day, I found this view with "items" clearly caused by the play of the sun on the optics of the camera. This got me thinking that perhaps this mysterious object might be just that, an optical illusion caused by some combination of light and lens.

However, in reviewing the history of this thread, it's been spotted at all hours of the day, on sunny days, cloudy days, snowy days, windy days, calm days...

So much for yet another theory!

Those are the lake sharks, usually very shy, surfacing to check out bike week.

Shucks....I thought it was final photographic evidence of Mee-n-mac's elusive rock Bass!

Kevin C · 06-14-2006, 09:25 PM

Incoming torpedoes ?

... it ain't no rock bass. Again for the slow learners (

) this is one of Grant's rock bass(es ?). I think the new streaks recently uncovered are UFOs and I'm gonna file a complaint with the NHMP as the seem to be blatantly ignoring the 600' NWS restriction. What, do they think they're on Newfound Lake or something ! That kind of behavior might be tolerated down south, over the Ossipee's, in places like Tamworth but not in these parts !

bike week + beer + hot sunny day= Weirs Guy adventure?

Are they pods like in "Cocoon"?

rander7823 · 06-15-2006, 05:13 PM

The weather has been kinda weird lately it could be the equivalent of the hurricane that went through the Everglades and "changed the people" ....look what happened to Pepper's hair.....you never know.

gtxrider · 06-20-2006, 04:25 PM

It looks like a rain storm coming. Approx 4pm today 6/20

That was the little one. The one at 6:30 was its daddy!

Weirs guy · 07-10-2006, 12:44 PM

I finally had a chance last week to swim over to the area in question to see what the mysterious item was, and am pleased to report, it’s a PILE OF ROCKS.

Yep, I was a little disappointed myself.

Most of that side of the pier is covered with weeds on the bottom, but in this one area about 10’ x 15’ is a bed of rocks covering the bottom in the same location as our mystery item.

Grant · 07-10-2006, 01:26 PM

In the interest of sustaining speculation surrounding the Weirscam Submerged Mystery Object (WSMO), I propose we find out what exactly is under that pile of rocks.

I still think that, with all the hoopla accompanying new theories regarding the demise of Jimmy Hoffa, we could easily go viral with this thing and convince the government to spend more tax dollars to track another bogus lead. The media circus would mean a nice pay day for local businesses, and perhaps even lead to an episode of Dateline NBC. Book deals. Movie deals. Next thing you know, the royalties are allowing us to fund a three-day ForumFest Extravaganza at Castle in the Clouds, with the Stones as entertainment.

Party on,

But what is buried beneath that pile of rocks is the question!?!?

SIKSUKR · 07-11-2006, 08:42 AM

That would be the rock bass "rock mc mansion".

Nope -- the Lady of the Lake is the official Rock Bass McMansion...

Sorry Weirs Guy, I’m afraid that I have to disagree with you. This summer when I was at The Paradise Beach Club I went over and took a look and there was a very large, flat, square thing in the water, but I could not make it out and didn’t have my polarized lens with me. We finally made it back by today to get a closer look and were able to get a reasonably clear shot of it. It is a sign for Ganong Real Estate. This is taking their slogan of being Waterfront Specialists a little too far!

Here is the link, for some reason I am unable to insert the picture correctly.

Merrymeeting · 09-11-2006, 03:53 PM

IG,

Thanks! That finally covers the mystery for me. I'll admit I was a bit skeptical about the pile of rocks answer. The object seemed to perfectly rectangular and too bright to be explained that way.

Someone better plant something in front of one of the webcams this winter. It's almost time for us to need the diversion to get us through.

Here's hoping that anything planted will be obscured by a thick layer of ice to play on this year, as long as it's gone by early April!

Weirs guy · 09-11-2006, 06:21 PM

Well RG, we'll have to get together and compare gps coordinates some time!

The sad part is I did an awful lot of swimming to find the wrong object in the water. Oh well, I'm off to visit the pile of rocks and cry.

Rattlesnake Gal · 09-11-2006, 08:14 PM

Perhaps the Ganong sign blew in after your swim?

If I had my bathing suit and goggles along I would have jumped in for a closer look and retrieval. Maybe next time.
