An Interesting Niku Object on Google Earth

[Stacy Galloway]

This interesting object is near one of the locations that was indicated as an area of interest in the 1937 photos.

I realize the last Niku expedition had GPS problems due to solar flares. Perhaps the next expedition can find and check this area out.

I named the parts 'Fuselage', 'Wing, and 'Tail' to help with clarification. I realize that this could all be a case of apophenia and/or pareidolia on my part :) but I wanted to share this with the forum to see what everyone else thinks.

(Oh, and this object also shows up on the Earth Explorer site with the image dated 2015.)

That was one of the easiest objects to identify.  It's a big fallen tree.

My bet: tree trunk.

Awww, it's my 'apophenia/pareidolia' then.... Thanks for the clarification. :)

You guys are almost perfectly in sync!

We're actually the same person.

I won't comment on that one Ric. It was a nice observation from Stacey, though.

Thanks, Bob, that's sweet :)

I feel kinda silly for posting it, but I'd feel sillier if it turned out that the object was 'important' and I HADN'T posted it.

Have a wonderful day :)

It's always worth checking.  Thanks.
