[meteorite-list] Strange things found while hunting for meteorites : )

[Adam Hupe]

I can't top the prosthetic leg or the cow suspended on top of a telephone pole 
like Sonny found but you can count on strange happenings if you spend enough 
time in the desert.

One time while climbing a mountain by Area 51, Dr Ted Bunch, Zann and I were 
startled by a jet flying below our altitude.  It flew so close to use sideways 
that I could see the pilots face and helmet. Needless to say, it was going so 
fast that we were startled when it flew by.  Luckily, nobody lost their footing. 
Ted was angry but Zann and I found it amusing.    


I have been startled by sonic booms several times by unseen craft. You can 
actually feel the sound if this makes sense. 


The wildlife never ceases to interest me.  It amazing me how tough creatures and 
early man have to be to survive desert conditions.  I have also seen giant cat 
tracks among other things and would not want to run into one.

Take Care,

Adam

I have seen what looked like an open grave discovered by Guido's wife, Joan and 
Zann.  There was a perfect rectangle dug several feet deep out in the middle of 
nowhere.  Perhaps some gangster dug it to make a point when Vegas was under mob 
control.  We continue to check it from time-to-time to make sure it isn't buried 

over.

Caches of old casino chips have been stashed in secret places throughout the 
desert.  We were shown one location where tokens numbered in the thousands with 
several rare ones.   They were coming out of concrete, put there in an 
unsuccessful effort to destroy them.  It looked like fossil negatives where they 

fell out.

A four hour hike from our house will take you to a very old aircraft wreck.  A 
short hike will take you to petroglypts and a water fall.

I once found a dead turtle with a transmitter hooked to its back. This was while 

hiking with Sonny and Rob.

We stumbled onto a hidden dwelling surrounded by bushes with no power or 
utilities and a sign that said keep the F--- OUT.  We took it seriously and 
backed out of there slowly.  We figured it was somebody growing product or the 
kind of lab that one would not want to deal with.

We found a stolen SUV hidden in a canyon and reported its GPS coordinates to the 

police. 


One time, I was startled by a dog running up to me in the middle of nowhere with 

six pack of beer strapped around its neck.  I then met the toothless owner who 
told me not to be afraid because "Buddy" or "Bud" for short doesn't bite very 
hard or all that often.  He then drank one of the beers and offered me one. I 
think I was more afraid of the owner than the dog.

Happy Hunting,

Adam
