I-Team: Mystery Arrows Dot Remote Nevada Landscape

Dozens of concrete arrows can be found in Nevada.
LAS VEGAS -- The vast deserts of the American West are home to numerous myths and mysteries, including relics left behind by long-forgotten people. When the I-Team heard about some oddly-shaped structures found in remote and inhospitable spots of the state, they investigated.
The mystery arrows came to the attention of the I-Team several months ago. It is immediately obvious that whoever made the arrows meant for them to be seen from the sky, a conclusion that raises all sorts of exotic questions.
Even from the vantage point of a helicopter, it's not easy to pick out the odd shape that sits on the desert floor on the north side of Mormon Mesa, but it is a concrete arrow. It's not a shape that occurs in nature, it was seemingly created for the benefit of sky people, not unlike the famed Nazca lines of Peru or maybe exotic agri-glyphs that appear in crop fields.
Mystified hikers or backpackers occasionally stumble across one of the arrows in remote locations in the West and wonder if they are they turn signals for the planet or directions to some mythical place, like Oz?
"I didn't really have an idea what they were about or anything," said Dave Valentine, a former Bureau of Land Management archeologist.
