Most I guess circa 1947? With the VA document, maybe this was a WWII PTSD patient? In any case, this is a 9 on a scale of 10 on the Creepy Meter.

I believe the "VA Document" was a placemat from a cafeteria or something similar, not a note pad or anything like that. Looked as if it might have been on a hospital tray.

When I was 11 to 14 or so, I drew many things similar to these. . . including the UFOs and creatures. I was a big Science Fiction fan and read the Pulp Magazines which had covers that had many pictures similar to those. I also drew geometric figures in color like the one shown. It was a grand pastime I a few friends indulged for fun. We also created fantastic inventions, complete with detailed descriptions.

I have some concerns with his bearing design. . . mixing various sized roller bearings against each other as he has drawn is not too good of an idea. They would rotate at differing speeds and different rotational directions, which in his design would actually add friction. Not exactly what he was intending, I think. Perhaps that is why it was never patented?

I’m not even going to take the time or bother to post a pic of that crazy haired Tsoukalis guy.

But I’m in before it.

Story seems pretty apocryphal, they didn't even say the dumpster was.

The map showing "air routes" looks like it shows "great circles" between global points.

These would naturally be today's "air routes."

My first thought regarding the fantasy items was a comic book (discounting the mechanical drawings)

They are becoming more and more common. They must have evolved as the most effective click-bait.

"This guy heard his favorite song. What he did next will shock you..."

"A homeless guy was given a cheeseburger. What he did next will make you cry..." etc...

After Common Core - one day someone somewhere will post something like: “I have a Fourth Grade Reader text book from 2014. Today it’s a college level reader.”

or

“My dad graduated from San Diego High School in 2014 and what he had in high school was equivalent o a PHD today.”

If this keeps up, one day college courses will be offered in spitting and drooling ...

If you are a football star those are graduate courses.

The printed page refers to 1967, and APRO, so, probably the 1977 incident is approximately the date of this box. Appears to be largely unrelated, probably some delusional unfortunate kept it, and kept it locked and secret from all. I’d guess the guy died, and was a veteran with PTSD, probably living indoors (not homeless). Thanks Enlightened1.

Is that the show on History Channel? I just started back on the Roku, and have been watching that show about the Viera brothers’ search for giant human remains, and had avoided the Oak Island show because those tend to be pretty whacked. May have to check it out.

Paranoid schizophrenics frequently are very intelligent and create entire intricate universes for themselves and keep the details safely locked up away from prying eyes, mind probing beams, the CIA and aliens.

The unfortunate man probably died and his treasures were discarded.

“The gang at “Pawn Stars” would have an “expert-buddy” dissect the situation.”

I can’t understand why they say ‘buddy’. It makes it seem like they’re trying to set them up.

You are in your way ... and it is 96 years from today - not 20 - but then counting is a relative thing - so whatever makes you feel good ...
