Thought I'd stop by to see if you guys were still at it. 83 pages? :confused2: Didn't look to see if this has been mentioned but today marks the one month anniversary of this conundrum. Carry on.
Still at it? When world peace, and, or, world domination hangs in the balance? Surely you jest? I reiterate my position below, scoff if you will...
"Hmm... Found a few very disturbing pieces of information.
First:
"It was used in Desert Storm to ID tanks and vehicles as part of the coalition.
the armor was designated as:
/\ - Alpha
> - Bravo
< - Charlie
|> - Delta"
Second:
"During Desert Storm, it was the universal don't shoot me sign for the allies."
Now, if you subscribe to the inverted v theory, which I do, then it appears as if it might be for identification purposes. What purpose, you ask? Well, as I said, it is very disturbing... Let's take the first fact above, which implies that the inverted v represents Alpha. Ok, Alpha... A, in military speak. A as in Alien! Second fact, a symbol to avoid friendly fire. I believe what we have here is a hybrid theory, the Militarist Alienist theory! They're marking friendly fields, so they can destroy the other unmarked fields! Seems something, or someone, disrupts their plan each year, and the window of opportunity for the attack closes. They then remove the pallets until the next opportunity appears. What delays the attack each year, I can't say... Perhaps bad directions, or gelled fuel(it is cold in space) Whatever it is, they could overcome it at any time! We need to find the owners of the palleted fields and obtain information by whatever means necessary! We need to know how they communicate with the aliens. Although, it might just be easier to move the pallet structures to unmarked fields, thus making sure those owners are safe, leaving the traitors unmarked and open for destruction!"
