An interesting episode, but for the life of me I can't figure why Gates allows what credibility he has to get tossed out by allowing Steve anywhere near his show.

" If it was an animal usually it's a lot more solid then that … but there's a slight chance that the animal may have sort of brushed against the tree … and and moved past it and been on the other side of it now ?"

What does that even mean ???   Is he babbling and trying to say it might be some residual heat left by a passing animal ?  It appears that Josh has it unchanging on camera for at least 10-20 seconds – do trees retain passing heat that long only to have it completely disappear when he gets closer ?

"If it was energy I think we'd see a little more to it "

Does the FLIR see "energy" ?  Does an "energy" have a temperature, and what size do they normally come in ?  Just what is your "I think" based on Steve ?

Tango actually comes up with a reasonable explanation of the light flash on the IR camera. 

" Do you think that could be like a refection of the IR, like a bug …"

Some moth like bug is attracted to the IR light, comes in close to it above the camera lens and the IR gets reflected down to be caught by the front edge of the lens – sounds good to me, but not to Steve.

"That to me dosen't look like a bug…"

Well, Tango was not saying IT was a bug, that it was an IR reflection OFF of a bug.

Steve then drops into babble speak ( BS ) again

" … energy for some reason manipulates the camera there and and dosen't know what to do with it…"

Doc, I think it can be boiled down to one thing. Steve is enamored with the sound of his own voice!

You have to be right, it must be the sound .  

It's obvious he never listens to the words he is actually saying ( or babbling )

I feel sorry for Dave … in the first season he was all " I can learn so much from Steve"

By now he must realize the truth, but his attempts to bring some rational thought to the technical end all get shoved aside.

Hey Tango, if you ever drop by we would love to have you posting under an assumed name !

We'd know it was him, because his guest name would be "DisgruntledSidekick"! LOL

It's so funny but true how Tango was really eager to learn from him at the beginning, and now you can see him just sort of rolling his eyes when Steve starts expounding one of his "theories". You just know Tango is thinking "YOU ARE WRONG!!! WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!!!" Laughing

I was there as I was the resident explorer (and associate producer of this episode and others produced in South America for this season) of this site,and their (all the crew) were very scary of the sighting.The area–San Pedro de Casta–and all surroundings  belove and above this plateaus–have a lot of sigthings of ligth figures,cloudy ecotoplasmatic formations,mostly toraxess and heads floating around,as the villagers testified for centuries and today.

Hi Alex and welcome -

If you have any links to new or more detailed information about these areas, please come back and post them here.

The South American adventures have been some of the most interesting this season, thank you for the work you have put in on them.

 Thanks for your comments….I created,developed and coproduced the four episodes in South America–although, unfortunatly, I was not credited in the end titles only in the third one,as explorer…My intention was brougth new subjects based in my long time research in the area as field investigator of past and present mysteries and archaelogy.

The peruvian  region have many great spots as also I revealed in Sci Fi's Quest for Atlantis" few years ago..

Dont miss the last episode on the Arica's monsters…as is one of my favourite cryptozzological mysteries…xxoo

Welcome Alex and thank you for posting.  I'm a curious person and have a few, very basic questions I hope you will answer for me.

First, how did you come upon our site?

Second, can you supply us with your background and any degrees you might hold so I may put all this in perspective?

Third, I'm also curious why you were "not credited in the end titles only in the third one,as explorer" when you say you "created,developed and coproduced the four episodes in South America".  Since you are a filmmaker and have done shows like this in this past, that's really amazing to me.  Isn't that a serious breach of the contract you signed and for which you were paid?

Thanks for your anticipated response.

I'm watching a re-run of this ep now and I have a question. My understanding is that the 'lost' village was constructed by the Incas and abandoned by the Incas before the Conquistadors got there. If this is true, then how can there be a bell tower associated with the village? As far as I know, the Incas did not make large bells requiring a tower (and possibly didn't make bells at all) so how can ghostly Incan bells be associated with the town? I understand that the modern villagers expect there to be bells associated with any town and not having the understanding that the Incans didn't make large bells, but I would have expected the DT gang to do a bit of research.

 

The obvious explanation for hearing bells in the area of the 'lost' village is weird acoustics involving mountains and weather carrying bell sounds from other known villages to the 'lost' village.

 

If anyone has info to the contrary, I'd love to see it.
