Objects Found

Mysterious metal spheres dropping into forests, rocks from other solar systems, and a mystery sphere from who knows where. These are strange objects that seem to come from another universe. In 2019, a guy in Crimea named Genedi Borosov looked through a telescope he built himself and spotted something fuzzy moving across the sky. It turned out it was actually the second known interstellar object in the first one that looked Telescopes all over the world locked onto it. A lot about it seemed pretty normal and had a tail shed dust and behaved But the strange part was the amount of carbon monoxide inside it. Observatories in Chile picked that up and reported levels way higher than what we usually see in comets from our solar system. That meant it was very Because it acted They watched it break apart as it got closer to the sun in the early 2020. They analyzed its dust, its gases, even the direction the fragments spun. Pretty amazing this comet can be a totally different star system. It was discovered by a guy with a homemade telescope. So they named it after him. Two Eye Borosov. I'll admit that the Hypatia stone doesn't look super exciting. It's probably the most unique pebble ever discovered. It was found in 1996 in a patch of desert glass in southwestern Egypt. For years, it sat in collections without much attention. But when researchers finally took a deeper look at it, they realized just how weird this thing is. The chemistry inside it didn't match anything you'd find on Earth. It didn't match any known meteorite either. Some of the minerals inside are extremely unusual. The ratios of certain elements aren't what you see in typical space rocks. Even the carbon inside it is strange. Instead of being mixed with silicon or other common stuff, parts of it seem almost unnaturally pure. More In 2018, a research team in South Africa published results showing that the stone might contain material that formed before our sun even existed. And there'still debate about exactly how the stone formed. But the most plausible theory is that it formed out of a supernova billions of years ago. In 1974, the Betts family was checking out damage from a brush fire on their property in Jacksonville, Florida. They found a perfectly smooth metal sphere lying in the grass. It's about the size of a bowling ball weighed around 20 pounds. It took it home and things only got stranger. They noticed it rolled around in ways that didn't make sense. See, if someone nudged it, it sometimes rolled back the other way. When they put it on a table, it would stop right near the edge instead of rolling off. The family said it made little ringing noises too and sometimes gave off soft vibrations. Others eventually came to the house to interview the eldest son, Terry Betts, about the weird find. The US Navy also examined it. They said that the metal matched high quality stainless steel used industrial machinery. That explained the material, but it didn't explain the movement of the sphere or the strange sound it would make. And it wasn't just the family saying this. There were multiple witnesses who said it rolled in ways that almost felt deliberate. To this day, we've never gotten a definitive explanation for this case. Next up is another mysterious object called the boogersphere. Now I'm just going to come out and say that this is a really sketchy case. There are some very obvious AI articles about this thing and supposed images showing this metallic sphere with these alien looking etchings on it. Supposedly it can fly. I don't know. It seems a little too insane not to be But I mean there is some truth to this story. Maybe there'some exaggeration going on or maybe it is as crazy as it sounds. I don't know but there are a lot of articles about this thing. Anyway, back in March a metal sphere dropped out of the sky near Booga, Col It crashed into some woods on a farmer's property. People nearby heard the impact and when they went to investigate they found this big smooth almost perfectly round object sitting in a crater. It didn't have any seams as you'd normally expect to see on satellite parts. For example, a scientist from the Colombian Air Force and universities took a look at it and found that it actually wasn't a single piece of metal and had layers inside it made of different alloys. Some of those layers looked Couldn't say for sure where this thing came from. The condition of the sphere also raised some questions. Most space debris burns up or breaks apart on the way down but this thing was, even though they didn't know what it was, it was perfectly round and seemingly intact. So the military made sure to be very cautious about handling it in no-fuse, pressurized or radioactive or what. Right now the object is still being studied. When the Tunguska explosion flattened a massive section of Siberian forest in 1908, nobody found a crater or many big chunks of a meteorite. That was incredibly strange. For a long time it was a total mystery. Decades later they discovered tiny clues in the area. Microscopic metal spheres and grains of melted minerals. These tiny spheres are made of nickel and iron and what not. But basically materials that point to a space rock entering Earth's atmosphere heating up and exploding apart before hitting the ground. That would explain why trees were flattened in a huge circle but no crater formed. Researchers collected these particles during trips to the site in the 50s and 60s and again in later studies. Some were found inside old tree resin stuck in place from the moment they landed. The melted mineral grains also show temperatures high enough to vaporize rock which lines up with a mid-air explosion. These little spheres don't solve every part of the Tunguska mystery but they do give us one solid piece of physical evidence. Something from space exploded over Siberia. Next on the list we have Angel Hair. Sounds super bizarre and it is but there are doc People describe it One of the most famous events happened in France in 1952. People saw objects in the sky then watched long strands falling all over the town. Kids ran through the streets grabbing handfuls of it but the fibers broke apart and it vanished. Another major case happened in Florence, Italy in 1954. A soccer match actually stopped because the sky filled with these strands floating down onto the field. Some of it was collected and analyzed and the samples looked similar to spider silk. There have been similar reports scattered across the world throughout the years. The common theme is that the fibers almost always disintegrate before anyone can store them properly. Sometimes scientists chalk it up to ballooning spiders. If you've never heard of that, which I hadn't until today, pretty cool. So this is when spiders climb to a high point, lift their back and release tiny strands of silk and then when the breeze catches it they get pulled up into the air. The threads almost act as a kite, sometimes carrying them a few feet, sometimes miles. That's how spiders will end up on ships in the ocean, on rooftops, places that seem impossible for a spider to reach. Also might explain why Spider-Man was always shooting his webs and it didn't look That's all the way back to the 60s show though. So at this point there'still no definitive explanation for this. Spheras in South Africa have been finding these strange little stone spheres for years while working in ancient rock layers around a clerk's door. Some are perfectly round, others look The rock layers where they're found are billions of years old. If you look at these spheres, they really do look unnatural. They're smooth, they have symmetry, some of the grooves wrap around them seemingly too perfectly That led to years of speculation about what they were. When geologists studied them closely, the explanation ended up being a natural process that just happened to create shapes that look artificial. Spheres form through something called concretion. Minerals build up a central point over an insane amount of time. The grooves appear because different layers hardened at different rates. In December 2012, people near Palanaraua and Sri Lanka saw a fireball streak across the sky. And not long after that, strange rock fragments started turning up on the ground. Researchers collected the pieces, it became very clear that this was not earth rock. It had a melted outer layer, It had unusual minerals inside. Researchers put the fragments under a microscope. They said they saw tiny shapes inside the rock that looked That claim became kind of controversial because other scientists immediately said the samples could have been contaminated after they landed. Or that they didn't handle the samples carefully enough and material from earth could have got mixed in. So, there was a lot of back and forth. And we still can't say for certain if this microscopic algae was caused by contamination of the samples or if it was in the rock the whole time. Extraterrestrial algae, a life from outer space. In 2019, astronomers in Australia were scanning the sky with a powerful radio telescope when they noticed giant circles out in deep space that nobody had seen before. These things were huge. They were even wider than entire galaxies, but you can't see them with normal light. They only show up when you look at the sky in radio waves, which is why they stayed hidden until recently. Eventually, you got the nickname Odd Radio Circles orcs, because that's exactly what they look Strange, giant glowing rings floating out in space. They don't look They're not the leftovers of a supernova. They're not a galaxy, and they always show up as pretty much perfect circles. As more sky surveys were done, more orcs started appearing. Some of them had faint galaxies sitting dead center inside the circle, Others didn't have anything obvious in the middle at all. Scientists have tossed around a few ideas, but none of them explain every circle, and since you can't see them in visible light, they're hard to study. When astronomers in Hawaii spotted a blue on wood in October 2017, they didn't know what to make of it at first. They tracked its path and realized it wasn't looping around the sun It came in from deep space, swung past Earth, and continued on. It didn't have a tail Usually that kind of movement means ice is melting and releasing gas, but that wasn'the case. It also wasn't shaped It was long and skinny, and a cigar is shaped instead of round. There was a ton of speculation at the time with pretty prominent scientists Unfortunately, we only had a short window to look at it for it, faded out of view. All we know for sure, it wasn't from here. With all that said, I've been Neuros James and I'll catch
