Strange object on beach in Rhode Island

Agree wth others, some kind of mooring for a mast that fit into the center opening. A tie off, tide gauge, guy wire.

If there is another one some distance away, then it was mooring for a ship.

They should leave it there for future archeologists to puzzle over. Maybe carve some hieroglyphs on it (giggity).

I think i am going to do that , make some completely random nonsensical object and bury it for future archaeologists to ponder about. It would be great to be able to time travel and see what BS they come up with to explain it.

Obviously proof of Ancient Aliens.

There are those kind of monuments...


One in Texas

When Bobs Big Boy (burgers) went out of business, all the statues out front of the stores went up for auction. A friend of mine suggested we should bid on them, line them up on the skyline ridge, overlooking the Pacific ocean, all facing the sea.

We passed.

One day they'll find golden arches every where, think its a world wide religion where people visited the temples, and sacrificed cows to priests dressed as clowns.

Other articles state it is 60-70 yards away from a lighthouse and the legs are capped in concrete. I am thinking definitely a home made mooring

Or a flagpole..that makes sense since the hole is meant for something to go into it just like a Mic stand, and it's not so big either, and is meant to assemble and disassemble....with fecking nuts and bolts.

If you ever wanted to visit Rhode Island, do it quickly before they open the vault and unleash the Eldritch abomination imprisoned within.

Looks like some kind of underwater "tripod" for something. The large opening in the middle looks like where you'd attach a giant pole -- to hold it in place. Pretty industrial-looking piece.

The write up says it can't be removed by hand so it is covered pretty good with sand. It says they will attempt to remove it tomorrow using an excavator at low tide

I did an image search and the closest thing I came up with "mud pads for docks" or "hold downs". A concrete cylindrical weight with a metal plate and cylinder welded togther along with webbing.

It would hold down a floating dock or pier:

damn.....looks like the CARET-drones are back!

Somebody call LMH! We need a crash site recovery operation!

That's either a really big thumb or a very small oddity.

Will be interesting to see what it is though.

A bit of mystery is allways good for tourism

It is supposedly about the size of a manhole cover in diameter

a reply to: norhoc

I wonder why 'they' are thinking it's going to need some big equipment to get out of there?

We'll see!

Ok nice weather predicted for Rhode Island today and low tide is around noon. Let's see what they dig up

i vote its = :

the base for a chanel marker

like :



the base means that a pile driver is not required to install them

it must be a slow news day in rhode island

a reply to: ignorant_ape

Only thing keeping me from agreeing with you is no one remembers it being put there not the harbor master nor anyone and i don't think they would put something that metallic that could hurt aomeone badly within feet of shore on a public beach

a reply to: norhoc

no one remembers it being put there

ROFLMAO

beaches and objects in the ocean move - compare old and new maps

a reply to: ignorant_ape

ROFLMAO. You are an ass have you read anything about this . This thing is buried so deep they could not move it with a loader or winch.

a reply to: norhoc

ah - straight to insults - bravo

yes i did read it - and its alledgedly in 3m of water at low tide

so your winch or loader is pulling at a appalingly inefficient angle

do you realise how ground anchors and pickets work ?????????????????

you didnt even address what i really wrote - so hey - what should i expect
