Yes, it is TRUE. The object is in the Smithsonian in Washington DC. Does anybody know this on these boards? I can probably count on my hands how many know this. But, when people are confronted with something so unusual to their way of thinking it is automatically discounted. I like to call it the "Chuckle Factor". There is so much in our world that is totally amazing that people just cannot accept.
