I explained in my OP where the source of the story comes from In search off. In that espisode they talk (and yes you can see them interview people descendants of the tribe) with the modern descendants of the Indian tribe with the legends. The legend explains two objects colliding over death valley, and the rock carvings a recording off that event.
The interpretation of the symbols as being akin to modern day electronic oscillscopes signals was presented in the in search of program. All i am doing is presenting this information to peope on Ats because its interesting. At the end of the day believe what you want i dont care.
So you can jump off your high horse because im not sitting on mine.

I generally don't always agree with Harte, but I must in this case.
Further, I must take the liberty to invoke the last line of Harte's signature line.
It is truly applicable in this case.
"Absence of evidence is not only evidence of absence, it is the only evidence of absence"
Without a corroborative Native American telling of this tale, evidentiary burden is upon the presenter.
Merely claiming the Folk lore for this tale exists is not really enough to make it true.
Interpreting these petroglyphs as O-scope renderings is a significant stretch of imagination.
In other words,
Hog- wash!

Simple shapes. In kindergarten I drew girls with dresses with that same design on the hem line. I didnt know squat about waves I just drew a pretty design for the dresses. I had dresses with what was called rickrack trim. It looked just like those lines. Drawing on rock is not an easy thing to do. Simple shapes that represent what they see would be normal.

In "the Book of Hopi" it is said that Figures with faces, eyes, mouth etc. they depicts Gods, while other figures is ordinary humans.
Snakes is both symbols of great power and water, because their movements is like the water. They also belong to the underworld, because they hide in holes.

They had far greater imagination than you apparently think they had. - Or they could actually see Energy forms of spirits.
