It's certainly sheet-like. Snow's not a concern. The family that owned this property had some oddities to it (I won't cover the killing of one brother by the other brother- in front of their mother), but I could almost imagine someone burying something meaningful. Although the family was responsible for the automotive bits (overflow of an illegal wrecking yard; fortunately only a little bit dribbled on to what is now my property) the garbage is likely pretty much from renters: an older friend of mine once told me that he had a friend that would advise him to bring any garbage out when he came to visit- folks gave little thought about burying garbage out in the country).
Much of the area was no place anyone could readily get to (brush, extremely tall grass, and very wet). It's why I think it was an intentional act. If it was something that fell from the sky I'm thinking that it would have gotten UV-deteriorated before being engulfed in/under the earth.
Just going to have to wait to find out. Stay tuned!
Orange plastic sheeting is just so unusual. Weird.
All the best,
