It's the framework for a nukular disgronificator.

It's a thing-a-ma-jig....it's even got holders for yer doohickeys ;)

That thing had to make some kind of racket when it exited the vehicle carrying it!

I went and scoured the area looking for an anvil at large.
None found.
I did see what looked like an area several yards below the original find, where it looked like a trailer dropped a wheel off the side of the road and I could see that upsetting the contents of whatever was on the trailer.

It doesn't surprise me the heavier anvil didn't fall off- but it was worth a shot.

What I didn't expect were the secret service agents who swarmed my house last night and took it. They informed me, what I have found was a weather balloon of some sort. Also noticed the name Mac Brazel ground into the side of the stand, all before they had me stare into some red light, and suddenly I awoke not knowing where I was.

They asked if I had shared the previous information with anyone. I said no. I think you guys are safe. They can't track computer stuff, can they?

Post some "Found" flyers. You'll make someone very happy if they see one.

Amelia Earhart?

Dunno, but I REALLY like it.
