None of it really matters, there is an unknown aircraft located in an extreme environment that has been there for so long it’s been covered, moved, whatever. Reading the reported FACTS from the army unit there is an unidentified aircraft there.


Quite right.... I recalled the words of the Warrant Officer, Keith Nurse, this morning.....about the "Ugly Rivets" around the cowl ring on the engine they found on the jungle floor. There are pictures of the Electra cowl on my website and these show the "ugly rIvets". Today, I put "Images: B-17 Cowlings " in my top line and up came hundreds of pictures of B-17's and there is one close-up from "flickr" with the reference 40939 15528_60e2 42c556_b which is in full focus.... If anyone can see Ugly Rivets around the cowl ring on that Wright Cyclone cowling photo I'll buy them a dozen beers.
