Well what bothers me Ray,
Is certain things just don't add up in my mind. Based upon my experience as an exploration geologist. We used to have routine analysis at local commercial labs down to 10 PPB (parts per billion) for things like Au Ag, As, Sb, Hg, etc..They are good pathfinders for gold btw, especially that first one <vbg>... I don't have experience or know about organic substances but they should be equally sensitive, I would think... Also I would think the people doing this would have access to best analytical equipment and technicians in the world..
And those excavated sites could not have done, IMO, on a few hours notice with a phone call from a plant within the inspection team.. Maybe they are old photos from an old site that was cleaned up in the 90's. Maybe somebody duped Powell.. I don't know.. I tried to catch a date, but couldn't.. Again, from my experience, when we flew an area. each frame was in numbered order and time stamped and dated.
And this almost continuous aerial survelliance should have caught a lot dust rising from the scrapers, dozers, trucks, front end loaders, etc.. They seemed to catch the trucks moving out the "goods" from that one other site.
I just don't know..
