These symbols, the name "USA" and the date and initials "1973 TH" were elected into the landscape in Laos in the 1980s. The US government concluded they were nothing, tricks of the eye or pranks pulled by the locals even though one of the symbols was a secret used by pilots at the time to indicate their plane had gone down and they were alive.

Did we leave troops behind after the Vietnam War, or are these the messages of persons who entered the country later but still used their contact information to call out to satellites and commercial airlines?
