I don't know if this is proof, but it looks to me like evidence. I corresponded with the pilot. The photo is from Joe Nall a few years ago. The prop did not touch the water, but the wheels did. What do you think made the spiral pattern in the spray aft of the tail?

As far as I am aware, it's never been proven to actually exist, just a theory. If you have evidence, feel free to share.
