Debris found in Southern CA Desert - Anyone know what it might be?

Pat, thanks for doing that research. I'm looking forward to any
further results that come out of that effort with the Vigilante
board..

Nothing back yet.


One thing that caught my attention is the relative position of the
wing relative to the fuselage - it appears to be close to the middle,

There is fuselage debris other than the wing attachment debris
associated with this? If there is quite a bit of it that should make
identifying it a piece of cake
The Vigilante's wing was mounted quite far back on the fuselage:

but I don't know if the circular bulkhead in the photo matches the
outside shape of the aircraft.

It could be an engine intake duct frame member.
