September 16, 1987 Laboratory analysis was performed on artifact labeled “deck timber”. Galbraith Labs in Knoxville, Tennessee tested samples taken from within the “formation’ and from without. All of the laboratory procedures were videotaped, including the taking the sample from the specimen, and the actual execution of the analyses. Results of “inside” “outside” analysis: The sample outside the formation showed …

What he saw, after the earthquake “looked like a giant shipwreck.” Evenly spaced indentations could be seen all the way around the object, which “looked like decaying rib timbers”.      What appeared to be “horizontal deck support timbers” were observed at consistent intervals..      The earthquake had also cracked the object …
