UFO Fragment or Piece of WW2 Aircraft?

Just saw this story today:

Towards the end of the sensationalism, you'll find this:

Can anyone pin down what aircraft part this would have been? Or could this be a piece of aluminum from the Burma Spitfires that were being transported on the Nazi Gold Train?

 

I read this a couple of days ago. The only dating given this object is the depth in the ground, and the other 'date-able' objects near it. Of course, an aircraft part plunging to the ground can bury itself.

Even so, I can confidently identify the object as a framulator lid from a class two Orion starship, probably dating to the second epoch of the lizard people.

 

Are you sure I would have sworn it was Clingon?

 

Saw a similar thing during a long UFO documentary on the Roswell 'event'. A older guy felt there had to be small debris in the crash site area that can be detected by a meter detector. Sure enough he found a small misshapen piece of metal. Turned out to be from a 1930's era aircraft.

 

Ancient ufo's would need gas.
Maybe refuel at an ancient reactor in Oklo, Gabon, Africa.
Interesting read.

That's very interesting. I would never have guessed that aliens are using 1930's era aircraft for inter-galactic travel. You learn something new every day.

 

What would be more interesting is figuring out what plane was actually lost on that property, assuming the artifact was not planted there.

 

UFO was mentioned in the title, so this must be free fire.
In the late 1800's, there were reports of cigar type airships, which years later may have been considered zeppelin - ish.
Tethered hot air balloons were not unheard of, so seeing a moving one would not be too conspicuous.

Today's equivalent might be seeing a blackhawk helicopter that makes no noise.

(aaand, saw 3 blackhawks and a chinook flying over the city yesterday. that never happens. took a picture but they are so far away)

 

Try his luck- what was his reward
don't really care...the odds are so in favour of other life...Anyone smarter than Hawking here

 

To me, it looks like a "hinge" that would operate the flaps on a plane.

 

Couldn't they carbon date it, or is that prohibitive

edit- duh

 

Read internet news about hexagonal vortices(?) satellite pics around the dreaded Bermuda triangle.

There is a cool pic of a hexagonal polar region on Saturn.

No. Carbon dating only works on organic materials. That's how they got the age for this, by dating organic materials near this hunk of metal. The problem there is that the metal object, even though it's at the same depth, isn't automatically associated with the materials around it. There's many ways a metal object can get buried in the ground. A trench, or just sinking in the mud... who knows?

 

I understand it was "a virtual cheque for 2,000 karma's (already sent via virtual mail).. And a virtual tshirt." A lot of that going around.
Guess ol' Mac went back to cow poking.

 

Life on other worlds (or space travel from such worlds) is just unfounded speculation, no different than idle theories about the metric system or the female orgasm.
