[QUOTE=Ian B;n1912715...
The dimensions (or at least, their ratio) was 1 x 4 x 9, which is 1 squared by 2 squared by 3 squared.

The alien fakers missed the boat with that. Any advanced society is going to have the equivalent of 1,2,3 and understand squares of numbers. Now if the dimensional ratio was the golden mean (1.618...) (which also happens to be what the ratio of adjacent terms in the Fibonacci series approaches in the limit), they could have had many of the naysayers puzzled. Especially so if the ratio of the third side was 1/1.618 = 0.618.
Hmmm, I should make one like that and "find" it in my back yard. Could probably get lots of ufologists and the like to fund me to further investigate it.
