You'd think by now that anyone *really* looking would know that it's probably best to tell us after they've found her.
Otherwise it just sounds like you're looking for money to fund a nice vacation.

I saw some of the satellite shots they claim show a "mysterious object" that could be the Electra just offshore, which is obviously a tree trunk.

Someone from TIGHAR having doubts actually sounds like a ringing endorsement to me.
I doubt they find anything of interest.

The good news, it is being done by Purdue University... so it's reasonably legit.
The bad news, they are guessing AE & FN still were marooned and died on the island.
The island has been searched by the "other" group for decades without finding anything conclusive.
The big question is what is the likelihood of the Lockheed making it to that island? How logical would it have been for the crew to divert...either intentionally or not..to the island? Years of TIGHAR propaganda have soured me on the likelihood of them reaching the island. It always seemed a convenient spot for the group to propagate their search efforts..
Would the aircraft STILL be shiny (I'm guessing that's what the satellite picked up) after 87 years of submersion ..covered in sand or not...how much of it would it be covered with coral. Seems like that could be answered in a phone call with an oceanographer (I understand Purdue is better known for corn than coral).
After seeing shallow wrecks of aircraft in the region, I would expect more coral on any wreckage.
