During WWII, when Japan was sending baloons carrying bombs across the Pacific on the Jet stream, The US Geological Survey identified the beach in Japan which suplied the balast sand on a dud bomb. The US Army Air Corps was then able to bomb and destroy the baloon making facilities located there.
Once the interpretation of the colors as recorded by videotape is sorted out, they will identify Osama's location.

One question? Will intense pressure and temperature create any gems?

LMAO! Good one.

It reminds me of an old B. Kliban cartoon, where this little old lady is in a park by the pond, holding out a saturday night special. The caption: "Never give a gun to ducks."
Osama was a fool, no doubt about it -- he has indeed given a gun to the ducks.

To: JohnHuang2
Why is this being made public? I would think that valuable information should be kept secret -- like telling our enemies not to stand in front of distinctive rock formations which may reveal where they are hiding.

LETS.... uh..... ROCK!
To: JohnHuang2
Why in the heck did this geologist tell the press what he told the State Department? And why did the press tell us what he told them?
They need to start locking some of these people up. The charge? Treason

Already been put to use. This kinda stuff, plus signal intercepts, plus, plus plus. All pieces of the puzzle with very short life spans.

And I am sure our news media published this news at the time /not!
I saw this story on a cable channel, and if I remember correctly, the very fact that Japan was even sending these balloons was consider a secret. Don't we have any secrets that our present day news media would not tell if they knew?

Once the interpretation of the colors as recorded by videotape is sorted out, they will identify Osama's location.Then he'll go somewhere else.
To: Blueflag
besides, the message by bin Laden was pre-recorded. Not timely itself

To my eye it looked a lot like that quarry Fred Flintstone works in.

When we're done, Afghanistan won't have rock formations. It will be the world's biggest gravel pit.
