Strange Fruit
I don’t know if you can quite make this out, but look at the middle of the picture. (Might be easier to make out on the bigger version) Those two things that look like feet are, in fact, the feet of a WWII pilot who parachuted out of his aircraft over the remote jungles of Papua New Guinea only to get caught in the trees of the jungle canopy and die there. His remains have been covered by moss, which has helped to preserve them in nearly original condition for over 60 years. The body was only recently discovered by accident by a group of locals hiking the rugged terrain on a photo expedition.
The identity and nationality of the pilot are as yet unkown — British, American and Australian air forces all patrolled the area — but the Australian Defence Department expects to send a recovery team to the area soon.
Good Lord, that is odd. And disturbing. But also, in a weird way, wonderful.
It’s like something out of an Indiana Jones movie — creepy and weird, but not so awful you can’t look at it.

Well, at least it wasn’t another sighting of the Virgin Mary. :)
Just goes to show that pareidolia is a powerful thing.
