Re: Nazca Lines - "Astro" fisherman by Anonymous on Friday, 31 January 2020
Although the CIA would like you to think of this geoglyph as an astronaut (as part of their ongoing disinformation campaign tailored to throw suspicion off of their espionage vehicles by convincing everyone that they are alien visitors of all things) it is really a depiction of a fisherman holding up his catch.

    Re: Nazca Lines - by Anonymous on Friday, 31 January 2020
    I agree, that it is very far-fetched to refer to this geoglyph as depicting an 'astronaut'. Though i have never heard about the 'CIA' supporting such unfounded statements.
