The first thing that jumped out at me as noteworthy:

Quote:
NOTICE
in the picture the cut END DOES NOT MATCH when over layed.
What does that mean?? VERY SIMPLE!
A piece was removed and kept that wasn't authorized.
The small half was sent back after the tests.
Bob White appears to be claiming that the lab stole part of his chunk of metal without permission. His evidence is that the edges do not line up precisely.

This shows severe ignorance of the process of examining this sample. In order to cut the end off the chunk of metal, some sort of cutting mechanism had to be used, probably a saw. Anyone who has ever used a saw (say to cut a board) should immediately realize the problem - the saw removes some part of the sample and turns it into dust/debris/trash. That is how sawdust is formed in cutting wood. The missing piece that was "stolen" is the piece that was the thickness of the saw blade plus the grinding and polishing to create the mirror finish. This is mentioned in the NIDS report.

This is a very simple concept that should be "common sense". Somehow Bob White does not grasp this simple principle, even when it is stated in the NIDS report. He instead jumps to the conclusion that the lab has taken a piece without permission. This speaks of a paranoid mindset.

Whatever this object is, Bob White's credibility is suspect.
