This would be difficult to do without leaving other marks I would think (e.g. how was it held in place to do the scooping?)Then again notice how the right leg of the N in the larger anomaly is still visible after the "scoop" has already started.

It wouldn.t have had to be held in place, could've been laying on the ground and took a quick hit or two. Parts of devices were left because whatever scooped it, didn't penetrate that far in those areas. Report this Post to the Staff
