Imagine going out to your garden to dig a spot for daisies and finding that instead!! We find Indian pottery shards here in Arizona, maybe an arrowhead ... NO ordinance! Good Lord. Imagine children playing ... we tried to dig to China when I was a child, my sister and I ... that was on Long Island and what we found was nothing more sinister than sea water LOL put an end to our digging to China. We couldn’t understand how Chinamen weren’t all drowning.

I remember as a small boy 50 years ago visiting the battlefields in France/Belgium. There was still no vegetation, just dirt and mud. We would dig in the dirt looking for bullets and as a result would get gassed from the remnants of gas still in the dirt(similar to tear gas, your nose and eyes would burn and water)

"That looks about 30,000 feet."

IMO, more like 3,000.

“That looks about 30,000 feet. Certainly within the range of airplanes of the day. Amazing photos nonetheless”

Even if that was in the posibillity of aircraft of the time, it wasn’t possible photographically

The proof is in the photographs, is it not? Or are you suggesting the top one is fake, but accurate?

I’m suggesting the photos in post 3 were maybe WWII. I could be wrong (I sometimes am)But those photos look too advanced for WWI

The Army should have returned his remains home to be buried by his brother.

Wow. I have been impressed that troops from WWII have been identified. My cousin was MIA for over 40 years.
