The group subsequently claimed to have discovered and photographed Atlantean artifacts. However, it was forced to seek refuge in Ireland after running afoul of the Spanish government, which believed that they were spies. Asher claimed that there were murder attempts and that at one point she was forced to jump from a moving car to evade kidnappers. She wrote an unproduced screenplay about her Spanish experiences. After arriving in Ireland, her group explored inland sites around Galway Bay, Craughwell, and the Dingle Peninsula, and conducted dives in the area of Galway Bay near the coast of the Aran Islands. These Irish investigations were conducted on the belief that ancient Irish megaliths are really the work of the Atlantean people.
