Anomalous Metallic Object Discovered Inside a 4.5 Billion-Year-Old Meteorite

Ancient Origins

The meteorite and its strange inclusion have been examined both microscopically and spectroscopically by a contact at the University of East Anglia. The preliminary results indicate that the silver cylinder is not composed of any of the usual accessory minerals found in meteorites. Further examination is scheduled.

Since the meteorite itself was formed several hundred millions of years before the planets, it begs the questions: who made it, and where did it originate before becoming part of the solar nebula? A very real possibility might be that the cylinder originated on a planet orbiting a Population 2 star that exploded as a nova several billion years before our solar system formed....

The pictures of the object show a small piece of metal similar to what you would expect from a hollow-point bullet, with a strange metallic signature not found on other meteorites.

The comment section at the bottom of the article are interesting also.

This site is good for picking up on things, not really that in-depth. I hope you enjoy!

I admit, this is interesting.

But I'll remain skeptical because of all the fraud going on at the moment.

I've got nothing to add, but here's the pics from the article.

a reply to: EdisonintheFM

Agreed. The person who wrote the article seems pretty up front about where he is coming from. Has some results of a spectrograph, and is doing more testing. He does go on a bit about it being from an ancient civillization, so that is one reason I posted it on ATS.

Looks like blast furnace slag, junk.

Looks like a worn out roller bearing to me. Could be new or could be very, very old. The function of a bearing dictates the design and any civilization that makes them would come up with a design very similar to any other roller bearing design.

Very cool.....thanks for bringing it up!

Thanks - I thought a few folks here would appreciate another mystery.

Would be interesting to know if it's a metallic meteorite or rock. Billions of years could shape and polish metal and make it seem to be some type of object. I like ooparts, and trying to figure them out.

I know what you mean. After billion+ years, eventually random collisions with billions of objects are going to make something look like it was fashioned by someone. It won't happen often, but it will happen. Think of the face on Mars, that turned out to be just a mountain when viewed in other light conditions. Or think of all the huge rocks on earth that look like a person if viewed in the right light from the right angles. Or even the bits of toast or cheetos that folks find that look like a religious figure.

So sooner or later some one is going to find a Statue of David in a meteorite, and we will all go insane!

Has the surrounding meteorite have been proven authentic and not man made? Could the metal object have naturally occurred? What is the composition of the metal object and has similar compositions been created on earth?

Good article, the metal object seems to have a small micrometeorite crater on its surface, it could lend some credibility to its space origin.

The problem with your theory is, there's a huge difference between stuff like the Face on Mars or seeing Jesus in some peeled paint, and something that is was purposefully created. You're basically arguing that a sane person might look at the statue of the Venus de Milo and think that erosion patterns created it naturally.

In this case, that really does look like an artificially created object, possibly a bit of a metallic tube or fitting of some kind. Assuming this object is being honestly represented (ie, it's not a hoax), then perhaps it is a bit of some ancient alien space probe or something.

Alternately: Maybe it's possible that the meteor might have struck some metallic object when it fell to Earth, and the object became embedded in the meteor?

a reply to: Havamal

And I appreciate it. Thank you for posting.

It's things like this that make ATS a site to continuously watch.

I'm curious about it and hope it doesn't disappear under the Smithsonian or some military bunker.

It looks like the bowl of a pipe , probably belonged to some long dead space hippy.

RiP space dude.


Other than that perhaps further investigations will uncover a more prosaic explanation but until then ... space hippy.

Wow-Imagine if they discovered the object had tool marks..that would be the coolest oopart of all time!
What the heck would that be?
Maybe part of the machine something unfathomable built and used to create our universe.

Im thinking it could have been formed in some kind of star collapse/death-maybe huge magnetic fields and radiation somehow created this structure within the meteor?

But I prefer the idea that its part of an old machine from an ancient race light years away,whose sun went supernova and this tiny piece of their technology somehow survived inside molten rock and then finally reached earth,maybe billions of years later.

a reply to: AndyFromMichigan

Not disagreeing with you in the least. It is currently a mystery. A fun thing to think and know about. The article said they are doing further testing.

However, I do believe in all of the universe there is some sort of Venus that was formed naturally.

That is a very contentious statement.

www.abovetopsecret.com...

I personally believe it was destroyed using an air burst device of some kind, the landslide and collapse of the structure was a pure act of vandalism by certain agency's and people in the know, the usually argument we have about NASA is that there are so many people working there that they are thoroughly transparent and they are always honest which is actually a load of hooey, there are many GOOD and Honest people that work there but it is a compartmentalized agency, compartmentalization was done to help to KEEP secrets and was a method used to make it harder for foreign powers to spy on the US government and it's departments and it's military and it worked very well and still does, BUT it makes those departments then far less answerable and makes it possible for clandestine activity's to go unmonitored and for other group's to work within the government structure independent of the US governments actually control.

What is More NASA has form for thing's like destroying suspected constructions be they alien or just very ancient previous human civilization remains on the moon.


I would classify this find as an Oopart.
As for strange meteors anyone remember this one.


How could they really tell how old the rock is, they can not to the best of my knowledge accurately date rock even if it was the same as asteroid material.

A meteor hitting a planet can in some cases eject material at escape velocity which would throw it out into the solar system were it would then probably orbit in an elliptical orbit and even perhaps fall back down onto the same planet it came from or even one of the other planets nearby.

It is a mystery simple as that, like the Ural Nano Spirals.


But you know there is a saying, it only makes sense in an INFINITE universe were the infinitely improbable actually becomes infinitely certain to actually occur eventually and what is more an infinite number of times but in a finite universe this saying makes no sense at all.

The saying goes like this, if you lock a hundred chimpanzees in a room beating against typewriter key's forever one day one of them WILL type out the collective work's of Shakespeare, of course how likely is that to happen.

And to be fair this object does look just like a piece of the rock material itself and almost indistinguishable but if it is metallurgically different to the surrounding rock matrix and it's shape not being conducive to a crystalline formation explanation then as improbable as it may seem the more likely probability than it forming through natural process which is actually even then less probable would be that it was the product of deliberate intelligent manufacture.

We may be looking at something that was splashed off one of our own planets or even the planet that many believe occupied the region we now know as the asteroid belt that may have been destroyed somehow but once may have been a large rocky planet larger than the earth if one did exist there, remember that today there is not enough rock to make a planet even the size of our moon in the entire asteroid belt BUT that is just the remains that remained in that old orbit whole the bulk of any such planet would have been thrown out of that orbit and lost in elliptical orbits that would have swept around our solar system for millions and millions of years, some falling into the sun, some tiny percentage crashing onto the other planets and some caught up and it's orbit changed by the gravity of the other worlds as well until the only contiguous area of the remains left would be the asteroid belt, that tiny likely than less than one percent that was slow enough and had the right mass to remain in the ghost orbit that planet may once have occupied.

The argument that it is a remnant of the Accretion disc is still the most widely accepted but has a great many problems, how has it lasted this long, the smaller disc around Saturn for example is only a short lived phenomena and we are just lucky to have lived at a time in our solar systems history when one was visible and that too was probably once moon's or a moon of Saturn torn apart by it's gravity or an impact were you could view Saturn and it's accompanying moon's as a small model of the solar system itself.


Either way a great thread and a break from politics and covid thank you for this, my advice is don't be bamboozled or brow beaten by those that claim to know more they really do not know more than you which is why you will never receive a definitive answer, all they will give you is there opinion, oh some of them do know a hell of a lot more about space missions, the likes of NASA and physics but even they are just beating in the dark.

Some mysteries are meant to be, it would be nice to know but sometimes a mystery is better than knowing.


And remember before releasing that last image of the face on mars to the public they filtered it THREE times which actually removed a lot of detail and made it look even flatter.
www.collective-evolution.com...
(if you look at the clear line from the original image that run's along the brow like a hairline or upper helmet face bezel you will see that in the two later images it has gone from a nice arch to a dipping irregular feature, this is indicative of structural collapse and suggests the structure was open or hollow inside and was the subject of at least a medium yield air burst device which was detonated over the structure to deface it at some point, when may this have happened?, well likely it was this mission and most likely the REAL space probe was swapped for the one with the package intended to destroy the face en.wikipedia.org... This was also the mission that NASA had agreed to take a closer look at the Face with due to public pressure and interest in the structure and despite NASA being unusually reticent to do so arguing that there was NO scientific reason to do so before hand.)

Don't think of that face as an open and shut case there ARE people whom are afraid of it, if it is a real structure it throws out the very foundation of there power structure and they want to keep control, they are not in the limelight yet they pull the strings and believe in them or not they do exist.

Lab,

Thanks for the reply. I was not aware that their was evidence of the destruction on Mars, or the advances in solar formation that have been made that you documented. I will keep my neck on a swivel to find more data.

I am glad you enjoyed the topic. I thought many folks here would enjoy what I found, and that it would be a good conversation topic. I agree that sometimes mystery is more fun than knowing the mundane.
