Do you have a reference for that weight Kev - it doesn’t seem much at all?

So it's just something like residue, or not even that?
The very first problem is that the magnesium samples that allegedly came from an exploding UFO cannot be traced to the beach in Brazil where they were recovered....
Secondly, the claims of purity have not held up to scrutiny. ... It would seem that subsequent tests have shown that the metal, while extremely pure, was not 100% pure.
Third, the samples have been handled in a fairly cavalier fashion. Once they arrived in the United States, no one had kept track of them and it could be argued that the chain of custody was broken here as well. ...
But then we come to interesting conundrum. While magnesium of a purity equivalent to the Ubatuba metal was available, and that the testing done to date, regardless of the quality of the equipment or competency of the researchers, no one has been able to identify a source of the original sample. It is unlikely that it is of extraterrestrial origin, but no one can rule that out. ....
In the end there are several samples of magnesium that seem to be unique. There is nothing in them to suggest the extraterrestrial, yet there is a hint that these samples might not have been made on Earth. This, I think, would be the classic definition of "unidentified." But even with that, it is not proof that some UFOs are from other planets in other solar systems. In the very end we are only left with questions that might have no answers.

Kevin Randle seemed unimpressed by these samples some 8 years ago.

I'd have to question why they are looking at samples that are 60 years old. Despite Bigelow, AATIP and MUFON's combined might is this all they've actually got? Or are you referring to different samples that were not from Ubatuba?
