Low Levels Expose Mysterious Objects In Salt Lake

Posted by timothy on from the folk-of-the-fringe dept.

nilbog writes "KSL TV Reports that record setting low levels in the Great Salt Lake have revealed some mysterious objects (not to mention nearly 1,000 square miles of new 4 wheel drive terrain). One item is even described as a bomb, and many items are still unidentified. A lot of the waste is thought to be from a nearby airforce base and might even be dangerous. Hey, might be a good place to acquire materials for your next backyard project!"

    So, are the people of Salt Lake City experiencing any weird dreams? Bouts of madness? People being eaten by giant squid-headed elder gods?

    No? I could've sworn my latest calculations showing R'lyeh was in Utah were correct!
