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!"

    It's just a bunch of junk. Nothing very mysterious. I was expecting jade pyramids and slate monoliths, not a '78 Pinto. :\

  2. What about the lake's eco-system? by shiwala · · Score: 4, Insightful

    That's great that people have more room to play, but what is this doing to the lake's eco-system? Granted, not many fish call it their home, but there are lots of brine shrimp there which in turn are food for other animals.

    Great! They found some old scrap metal in a dry lake and it's already news. Now if they had found Atlantis, Nessie or Bigfoot in there, it would be worth the bits. But old scrap metal?
    Slow news day al over again.
