Olver claimed that he was ready to give the authorities the exact coordinates of the location where he had discovered the wreckage.
He added the part was so big and heavy that the note of his trawler's engine had deepened and exhausted as they tried to tow it over to the surface.
The fisherman said: "It was a bloody great wing of a big jet airliner.
"I've questioned myself; I've looked for a way out of this. I wish to Christ I'd never seen the thing... but there it is. It was a jet's wing."

George Currie was accompanying Olver during the alleged uncoveirng.
The now 69-year-old said: "It was incredibly heavy and awkward. It stretched out the net and ripped it. It was too big to get up on the deck.
"As soon as I saw it I knew what it was. It was obviously a wing, or a big part of it, from a commercial plane. It was white, and obviously not from a military jet or a little plane."
Olver estimates the area where he made the discovery is about 55 kilometres west of the South Australian costal town of Robe.
