Pretty interesting article; intriguing to say the least. What do you all think? Piece of a UFO?

Clearly manufactured, and appears to be part of some larger assembly...at least to this engineer. Even at the low-end age of just 400 years old, this predates modern metallurgy by more than 100 years.
-
It's part of a time machine.
-
Douglas Adams was right!
-
I believe the article says it was found in Transylvania.
Does GHI know about this?
:confused:
-
It's was found in Romania :old:
They still have horse and carts in this country :old:
And use turnips as currency :old:
It's defo part of a UFO and predates Air Warrior which had better graphics than AHIII
-
Its a piece of tank or aircraft and they merely dated it wrong, or dated something deposited on it instead of it, itself.
-
Yet, there's a much more rational (albeit boring) explanation. The wedge is simply a tooth from a modern day excavator bucket, the kind used by workers digging foundations for construction projects.
The results of metallurgical tests made on the wedge are consistent with modern 2000 series duralumin[wp] which oxidizes fairly rapidly, accounting for the aged appearance of the wedge, and which can be hardened[wp] to a degree similar to mild steel. Aluminum will not strike sparks as steel might, which makes the alloy desirable for service in environments with combustible gases or vapors, such as the coal mines that flourished for a while in Romania.
With a decline in coal mining, the excavators may be reasonably supposed to have been turned to other uses. It's extremely likely that one of these excavators lost a tooth while digging the hole in Aiud; someone unfamiliar with the machine found it in the sand near the mastodon bones, and assumed it to be an anachronism.
See many examples of excavator teeth, here, a number of which closely resemble the so-called "out-of-place" artifact.[2]
Aluminum corrodes, like all metals. I don't think any man-made metal could survive 250,000 years.
-
Someone carried the 1 too many times :old:
-
If you look closely, you can see "Made in China" printed on it. ;)
-
I double it's more than about 6,000 years old at best and most likely something that fell off something and just got lost in the mud.
-
No it's part of UFO.
It part of a Ray gun which is on the left hand side of the UFO.

How can it be a UFO if you know what it is?

That looks like a bucket tooth from an excavator.

How dare you :old:

When did those go extinct?

Exactly my thought, even if it is a bit odd if its made out of aluminium.
-
Given that Aluminum is a natural element created when the earth formed, I would think the item tested would show up as billions of years old. I think they need to rethink their testing process.

1) No element was created on Earth, very short version is that they all come from Big Bang or from dead stars. Elements heavier than iron can only be created in exploding Supernovas.
2) Often you determine the age by looking for isotopes with a known half-life. The amount of the isotope gives you an idea of the age. (Carbon-14 is the most known one). The age of a stable element can of course not be determined.
But yes- they most likely screwed up their testing..
-
Aluminium is made from borxite?
And electricity and rarely firms naturally :old:

Nothing 'firms' naturally, that's what botox and silicone implants are for :D

There are two processes to create aluminum. The aluminum we see used in production of many things, does not occur naturally.
One process requires the element alum. The other process requires bauxite.

Or, the object may have gone through an artificial aging process. Back when I did more business than today I had to familiarize with some testing protocols intended for telling how a novelty material would stand the test of time, mainly if a) it would not cause any harm to other materials and b) it would protect the other material. Since some elements had been noticed to cause issues during a long period, they were multiplied to make the aging process faster. The most common elements were UV radiation, heat and dihydrogen monoxide in gas form, IIRC. The object in question may have had such overdoses a lot, which makes me think it might be part of a human made spacecraft like a satellite. If so, it still would leave the question why it hadn't burned when falling through the atmosphere. Perhaps, if it were a piece of the fastening system of the thermal shields, it might have survived?

Oh, who left these tracks?

Aluminium is the third most abundant element in the Earth's crust (after oxygen and silicon) and its most abundant metal.
-
Yes it is one of the most abundant elements of Earth.
Instead of trying to explain it, read this: http://education.jlab.org/itselemental/ele013.html
It will explain the difference between the natural element aluminum and the aluminum used in production.
Until it is refined, it bares little resemblance to the aluminum everyone is familiar with.
-
Boy are y'all full of it. Everybody knows all of our aluminum comes from recycled beer cans.

That's piece of my battle ship. I was sent to eliminate a demonic multidimensional troll lurking in that area , later known as Count Dracula . Should find more debris and 2 bodies, me and Blade (Wesley Snipes) last incarnations, we got nailed. The sucker cheated, quantum hacked my F3 mode, got shut down. We came back in 19th century stooped in black forest ate some mushrooms deeped in Black Goo sauce to gain immunity to Count tricks, and got him with wooden sticks made out of IKEA pre-assembled furniture. But he is back, messing laws and time flow, i'm sensing a disturbance in force.

:rofl
Brilliant ghi, just brilliant!

They may end up retracting this story if it's found the dating process was contaminated by Al stable isotopes found in marine strata and other kinds of strata. Those are used for dating of when the strata was no longer exposed to cosmic rays entering the atmosphere. When the isotopes are buried then they begin to decay which is measured. The aluminum alloys we use to make aircraft parts do not decay the same way, they oxidize. The oxidization layer from contact with the soil will hold stable Al isotopes.

Correct but I wasn't going back that far, but if we're gonna nit pick then I guess it formed in the Big Bang when all things were created.

Aluminum does indeed occur naturally, number 13 on the periodic table of elements
The processe doesn't create aluminum, it refine it from bauxite ore
Just like iron is extracted (mainly) from iron ores such as Magnetite and Hematite

Then the nutjobs come out screaming government conspiracy for hiding facts

Worked for CAT, and was my first thought...

That is quite clearly a T-rex tooth implant !!!....

as can be seen in this rare image with reverse engineering and a little imagination we have developed the excavator bucket tooth design with which this is being quite clearly misinterpreted as.

Plutonium! Could be why they came here. they got wind of our plutonium production, literally, from our atomic blasts in the 60-s and 70s. And now they want some. :noid
ps. nothing but energy came from the big bang, a state of matter to hot for any organization. only simple hydrogen was formed from cooling. All else came from stars. :bolt:

It is part of the first car belonging to Lazs. Is the old fart still around these parts?
