Mysterious aluminium object dating back 250,000 years
« on: October 20, 2016, 11:10:42 AM »
Pretty interesting article; intriguing to say the least. What do you all think? Piece of a UFO?

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/weird-news/experts-believe-mysterious-aluminium-object-9086060

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.

I believe the article says it was found in Transylvania.
Does GHI know about this?

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.

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.
