## Where it stands

**Disputed** One piece of evidence for, one against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.

## What it predicts

- Credible receptions cluster at times when the reef at Nikumaroro was dry enough to run the right engine, and propagation from there to the receivers was possible.
- Direction-finder bearings converge on one location.

## What would rule it out

- An independent propagation and content analysis finding no reception that could have come from the Phoenix Islands.
