p.1 #1 · #1108 Alien Stones


I posted some info on the B&W Forum...
These alien stones/rocks have been a visual phenom for at least 15 years. I spotted about 10-15 of them while still working in 2009 on the dirt roads around Camp David.
No one knows who or were they came from yet they still exist! No adhesive or glue keep the rocks intact.
Local lore in the area attribute that to the Catoctin Sasquash aka "Uncle Joe" whose "sleepwalking" needed markers to get him back to the Camp David compound!

Nicely seen, captured, and processed Mr Dan. How big is this thing?
I find it fascinating how the intricate patterns, tones, and textures seem to align and play well together.
Them there aliens might be on to something.

It is about 3 ft tall Larry! Others are taller and others smaller. What intrigued me was the fact that over the years weather, stupid people left it alone! Now I can't really speak to weather because I didn't see it day-to-day. Whoever put them there may have corrected any disarray. Beam me up Scotty!
Thanks!
Dan

Thanks Brent!
I never take the road most traveled in this area of the mountains. The unmaintained gravel lane and a half wide roads I frequent often.
My van doesn't like , nor my company SUV, it but I do!!!
