The visual record
Illustrations, recordings and archival references — each with its own provenance. A documented source is a starting point for investigation, not a verdict on its explanation.
Turkish recordings: source lineage
A mirror, not an authenticated original transfer. Earlier January 2008 uploads should not be silently treated as the later 2008 series. Linked, not reproduced.
Third-party presentation mirror ↗Link only — rights with the publisherNight-time camcorder recordings made over the Sea of Marmara from Kumburgaz between 2007 and 2009, said by their promoters to show a structured object and, in zoomed frames, occupants. The material was publicized by a private Turkish research center. Skeptical analysts match the shape to passing cruise ships. The corpus does not discuss this footage.
