Looks like Predator has been messing around in the area, leaving some of his prey from other worlds behind.

AN Australian trekking party's hopes of having found remains of a World War II airman hanging from a tree on the Kokoda Track have been dashed – in fact they discovered a moss-covered branch.quote]

Their hopes have been dashed? I would have thought that this turning out to NOT being a dead body would have been considered a good thing.

"An Australian trekking party's fears have turned out to be unfounded" would have been a better way of writing it IMO

Still think it's a guy up there who's been eating bananas the whole time and is now got feet length dreadlocks

Colin; just so we're clear... I did not write that article. Everything except the first part

"it's official: it's a branch

Was copied and pasted directly from the article.

I guess I was wrong, I figured it was either D.B. Cooper or Amelia Earhart.

Nobody has explained the goggles...

Nobody has explained the goggles and how come there are no photos of the expedition and the "branch" ??? I think it might be Yamamoto..

Hi, Chris, no worries I knew the words came from the article and not yourself, it was clear you were just giving everyone an update.
