Things falling off aircraft

[JohnnyDrama]

I was out working in eastern Utah and we came across this. We had been finding little bits (notebook paper size) of metal scattered around an area of several acres and didn't figure out what it was until we found this. We thought it might have been aliens. Does anybody out there have an idea what this might have fallen off of? There isn't much left but if at all possible I'd like to know.

Where in Eastern Utah?

Did you know there were several missile launch sites near Green River, launching missiles towards White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico?

Could maybe be something from that?

The map doesn't seem to be very comprehensive. I can't even find this military crash... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_D._Button

Looks like it came from a C69 Dickfer

Here's a follow up 'cause I know all y'all are interested. Turns out it is likely wreckage from a B-52G that broke up in flight back in 1961.

Here's one of the more dramatic accounts of the event. I spent some time looking at the planescrashmap link from BushMasterBoy and none of those crashes seemed to match the location or account for such a large debris scatter.

That Green River link was interesting as well. Utah is a surreal place.

What's a Dickfer?

I personally think it's a water heater.
