They ran the sonar twice, then a third time, because a mile-long ribbon of stone under Lake Michigan was too straight and too deliberate to be an accident.

We've mapped the Moon in sharper detail than our own ocean and lake floors, and it's in that dark, unexplored frontier that the most unsettling discoveries hide. Protected by cold water and silt, an ancient line of stones survived thousands of years — possibly from a time when the basin was dry land, long before the first stone at Stonehenge was raised.
