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!"

    They had a kickass Salt Lake back in the 80s when it threatened to take over the entire basin and attacked I-80, then there were the 60s when it almost went away

    Live in a Salt Lake, you take the expansions and contractions in stride.

    Nah, they wouldn't do that. Ok, maybe there's an abandoned NUCLEAR BOMB 75 miles from my house, but what's the chances of that happening again?

    no, seriously, I agree with the tank theory.
