Is it aluminum? I don't think that this fell from the sky (like aircraft) because unless it were lightweight plastic, it would have been driven down into your yard. It could have be set down by remnants of a tornado though, ... stranger things have happened during wind storms. I'm wondering if you've had some contruction or other service trucks in your area ... any meter readers etc ??? It may have fell off a truck.
Funny! Reminds me of a pal of mine who was trying to grow a ginkgo tree.
The poor thing was only 18 inches tall and had only about 8 of those
distinctly shaped leaves on it. One day while riding around in Jeffersonville, IN
in the fall, I spotted a ginkgo that was dropping it's leaves (which are
beautiful pure yellow). I stopped, filled up a trash bag with these leaves
and returned to my friend's home in Otisco, IN, and buried his sapling with the leaves
(there was no other ginkgo in his neighborhood). I told him about it about
a year later.
Weird man...
Reminds me of the 1.5 ft long rock in my back yard. Found it there, wasn't moved there by kids (too heavy for the little ones in the neighborhood) and doesn't flood enough for it to have been moved there.
Convinced I have a space egg in my yard. That and I have to mow around it, I ain't gonna move that, I've seen The Blob AND Critters. Ain't touching crap...
I saw a big green meteorite burning towards warsaw last night. It was awesome. But that doesn't look like copper and you are nowhere near warsaw!
Lokks like a cylinder liner, is that a carbon ring near the top?
Babbling mother of Hillery! It was you. This incident generated a Dropped Object Investigation and a Safety Down Day. We grounded the entire fleet of KC-135s and A-10s. We spent thousands of man-hours trying to figure out which plane lost this mysterious part. Crew Chiefs and Specialists will curse your for ever being born. A pox on your futon, for you!
The space station was visible last night at 9:01? Maybe they're missing a toilet ring or sumfin?
