Archaeologists working for the Air Force have uncovered evidence of early human life in the alkali flats on the Utah Test and Training Range (UTTR) in the form of “ghost” footprints that disappear and reappear.
The scientists have uncovered 88 preserved human footprints they believe date back 12,000 years, according to a Cornell University news release. They’re working to confirm the find now, and if the find is genuine, it would be the second discovery of Ice Age–era human footprints in the U.S.
The U.S. Air Force has been working with archaeologists to study various sites around the UTTR near the Hill Air Force Base for years now. “We found so much more than we bargained for,” Anya Kitterman, Hill AFB’s cultural resource manager, said in a press release.
