what did we see?
in a field off the road were 3, maybe 4, bundles of what looked like holstein cowhides stuffed into giant clear plastic bags. they were about the size of a cow torso, but stuffed into bags? they've been there at leaast two days.

what in the world could it be?

Why wouldn't the aliens want the leather? well at least they are neat about it.....

I sure hope someone is feeding silage out of the plastic tubes, which are white plastic on the outside, & black plastic on the inside, and cleaned up the old plastic scrap into bags.......

Could be from agbags like Rambler said, or from a silo stack. Some of the better silo covers are black one one side and white on the other like the bags only rectangular.
I think the aliens leave the cowhides because they prefer taking the hides off all the innocent Naugas roaming around.

Could it be that someone got a whole bunch of Gateway computers for Christmas and put the boxes into bags?

Gateway's computer boxes are made in a distinctive Holstein cow pattern.

y'all are a hoot! moopranos... shaking head. lol!

i looked closer today. it's last years corn field, with a cover crop. next field over is a heard of angus. in between are a couple of long rows of round bales, covered with those tarps, black on the inside, silver on the outside

i'll say the mystery is solved. driving by a lot slower it didn't look so much like a holstein.
