Strange metal with Symbols found near Roswell

Don’t know if this has been covered already on ATS, I searched but couldn’t find any reference to it. But if it has, please direct me in the right direction.

Anyway, found this picture on Coast to Coast of a piece of metal with symbols on it found by someone near Roswell.





I wrote to the person who found it asking him if it was a hoax or whatever and he wrote:

“No this was not a hoax it is very real.I have tried so many outlets to help me find out what this metal is or the origin of the writing but never had no luck.What's really weird is everyone that i have contacted about this metal never speak to me again.Coast to coast is the only site that i posted the pictures on, what i'am thinking of doing is create a my space page and tell the complete story with new pictures and the experiences that i have had with this metal.
thanks for your interest”

I did some research on it, and the closest thing I could find matching the symbols was an alphabet known as Nuskha-khucuri.





I wrote to a Linguistics specialist, Simon Ager and he said it looked Chinese to him. So I thought maybe it came from Chinese immigrants that came over between 1849 and 1882 because of the California Gold rush. But a quick study of their writing didn’t look like these symbols.

This is a picture of early Chinese writing:




Does anyone have any idea what these symbol mean or their origin?

Thanks

Is that all there is? It looks like half of it is missing somehow....

Are you saying the metal is strange because it has unknown hieroglyphics on there? Or are you saying that this metal is a new type of metal?

Im confused..

Well that was a case of divine synchronicity or just pure coincidence, just before I saw this post I was looking at the Indus Valley Texts for the first time, one symbol is VERY similar....well actually the more I look I can see many that are similar.www.ancientscripts.com...

What type of metal are the markings on? Has the owner made any attempt to have it identified by professionals or attempted to take any radiation readings from it?

This thing is actually very very small...
Its as interesting as it being larger however i think no one payed attention to the guy because of the artifacts small scale.
I would also suggest that there is a good chance he lost it along the way if he took it to pros, especialy if he is tracked along a cover up effort. That is if this is really related to the roswell incident at all.

Well, although I do find this subject intriguing, but the metal sort of looks rusted, and I would imagine an exotic extraterrestrial metal to be a bit more withstanding to be honest, and the symbols do not match those from Roswell IMHO, look;

That looks like a piece of an old head gasket. The color and brittleness are correct. The markings were probably etched in after the fact. That may be why nobody is interested?

And further more what is the deal with the photos cropped to appear from a lens of a microscope and printed from an inkjet printer? It's even more odd that they were handled so carelessly. They appear folded several times and something looks lit it was spilled on it. Maybe not. Maybe its something else. I don't get it. Who scanned these pictues? Can't they just email these files to you directly? . . . or do you fear the men in black?

I hadn't known about the symbols described from Roswell before...thanks for that. Has anyone tried to decode them denote a pattern or language of any sort? Did multiple witnesses report similar symbols?

Spot on there Turkey...

Anyone can make any whichever shape & symbol on metal and claim greatness. But the real deal would be if it is/was totally new metal(ish) material

I will contact the owner and see if he is willing to come on ATS.

What I quoted him on was all he wrote. I thought or do still do think it's a common metal left over from an earlier people. Or it may be modern and someone was just messing around with a piece of metal and he happened to come upon it. Or just maybe it'll turn out to be an unknown language and unknown metal.

The paper on which the pictures are printed seems like it been folded in someone's wallet for a long time. It is well worn.

Thinking it was found near Roswell and the strange symbols or writing, he probably presumed it was from another world or something.

I was just determined to solve this mystery and inform him of what it is. I thought the best place would be ATS for this to be shown, surely someone would recognize it.



So anyway, I'll email him and see if he'll join this conversation and give more info on it.

Are you saying the metal is strange because it has unknown hieroglyphics on there? Or are you saying that this metal is a new type of metal?

I meant Strange symbols not strange metal, sorry for the misunderstanding. But as of now, it is strange metal & symbols because he still has no idea what it is, because that was the purpose of putting it on ATS to try at least to figure out the symbols.

I would change it to 'Strange symbols found on metal near Roswell' if I knew how.

They very well may be ancient Chinese. Way before the California Gold rush era to boot. I cover some of that possible history in my new thread.

Ancient America Rocked

I find it strange that the peice of metal is in teribble shape and yet the writing is very clear. almost new..

That lokos EXACTLY like what the Marcel guy from Roswell gave to his son..beforre he gave it back to the army. It had the same colors,and wrtting in it! I dont see how it was just found?

It looks like a variation of runes on a piece of thin copper to me: the center symbol, at least, IS the rune Othello.

Norse or english runes, might be somewhere to look.
I'm not a specialist on runes, there are many who are, but, I recognized the parellel on that one in the center because I did some study on them as a flight of fancy, before: Othella.

Here is a link to Wiki's page: Runes

Here is a link to Omniglots Hungarian Runes: www.omniglot.com...

The runic variation alphabets *might* be somewhere you want to glaze over in your search for which language your specimen is punched with, in other words.

And here is a better page with more variety of runic depictions. The south Arabian looks similar to what you have there: Origins of the Runes

Maybe it is Korean. Or maybe someone was having fun with a piece of thinly hammered metal and a soldering gun. Fun though!

Personally, looks like someone put these markings on after the fact, and not in a very distinct orderly pattern. They resemble Nordic runes to me. Seems like someone's trying to pull a fast one, either the one who "found" them, or somebody else made it and left it to be "found"...just for fun...

I hadn't known about the symbols described from Roswell before...thanks for that. Has anyone tried to decode them denote a pattern or language of any sort? Did multiple witnesses report similar symbols?

Most witnesses were recalling this after many years, and were much younger when originally seeing the symbols. Marcel's depictions are a "representation" of what he claims to have seen on the I beams, not "exactly" what he saw, so trying to "decipher" it wouldn't be of much assistance....

Just observations from some experience in examining artifacts. The markings look relatively recent and -done a machine part from sometime mid-20th Century.

I don't know if alien saucer parts manufacturers branded their products.

As a kid I remember hearing about a wonky conspiracy theory that the Chinese were actually aliens. Maybe this is an opportunity to revive that one.

At least some of them look like fúþark, that's the norse rune alphabet.

The first one(reading left-right, top image) is the rune dag, or simply d. (also dagaz, dags, means day)

The second one, like HugmyRek pointed out, is the rune othello/óþelló, or just o. (omega)

I can't identify the third one as of now but I'll keep looking.

The fourth one(far left, bottom pic) could possibly be an R, younger fúþark, but I'm not sure.

Fifth and sixth, not sure, will keep looking.

Hope this helps and btw this is my first post ever on ATS so be gentle

What they look like to me :

Fish , Double diamond , A Mayan symbol pattern that is used often

Second pic : Mountain , hunting a fish with spear, bow and arrow
