I knew that he was living in Frankfort, Germany when his WSPR ideas were picked up by 60 Minutes Australia. I know not a lot about radio waves, but the strangeness of the idea and Godfrey's certitude caused me to write him off immediately.
I have also researched Richard Godfrey and can find no critical evidence of his resumé. He certainly could not have worked for NASA but may well have been a British Aerospace consultant of some degree or another. That would if true, make him some kind of a Walter Mitty type person.
Walter Mitty-- love it. Very much appreciate that you did some digging, too. If you found anything interesting (whether by inclusion or exclusion) I'm all ears.
Jeff. no fear I shall seek and find if indeed he is or he is not who he says he is. I think he was most credibly, a consultant in IT in banking and maybe engineering, but most certainly not a design engineer. We shall have to keep digging. As for MH370; its like a needle in a giant haystack!
Jeff, I've watched Mssrs. Godfrey and Thomas this week as they rebutted your facts concerning Godfrey's CV and work history. I imagine you've watched, too. In summary, they said nothing about banking IT. Nary a word. So from my old intercollegiate debate training, I would point out to the judge that since the matter was unaddressed, we must conclude that our point was conceded.
As an observation, we are living in a world where human beings are no longer amenable to persuasion. And in such a world, differing opinions too often devolve into pissing contests at best, gunfire at worst.
Thanks, Tom, really appreciate the intel. Yes, I'd experienced a bit of that gunfire when I did an episode on the alleged Emirates sighting and the comments are even angrier this time around. People are not amenable to persuasion indeed -- the very thought of changing their mind seems to enrage them.
If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and talks like a duck, then it most probably is a duck.
Didn't know though that he lives in Germany.

A strange duck IMO...

It's kind of remarkable.
Indeed.

Indeed. Really appreciate your help, Peter.
