Pappy....much as I would like to believe the tale....there is NO evidence anywhere in the legitimate press or record to support the GULL ISLAND story. Every google story traces back to the same nut job. This is the stuff of late night AM radio talk shows...sandwiched in between the Roswell people and the" GM has had a car that runs on water for the last 30 years" crowds.
