"Seriously Guys. What Is THIS? An Alien Horn Of Some Sort?" Topic

Looks a bit like what possessed Alyssa Milano in Outer Limits (Caught In The Act, about 2:15 into the episode):

PS. Also shown at 16:15 and 19:00 into the episode.

Looks like the unfortunate result of a diet rich in scalloped potatoes and graphite shakes.

LOL.

Dan

Most likely, a hoax…

I thought it was a hoax too, but I looked it up and Alysa Milano was really in an Outer Limits episode around 1995.

LOL. Can't stop laughing.

Dan

Ah…I just noticed the topic was started with the title- "Seriously Guys". My serious answer would have been that it's a prosthetic metal horn ripped off a Jovian Unicorn upon forced entry into our atmosphere. Perhaps. I'll defer to others now so that serious discussion can ensue.

What happen? I must have missed it, I was distracted by the tight white sweater!

If the alien spacecraft start melting in our atmosphere, I think we're safe. Crimony, a chunk of foam took down the shuttle. Imagine what that thing would do! Sorry, but I'm not too impressed with the 'advanced' civilization based on this particular bit of evidence.

Ah, this one I know.

It's a still uncarved Midwinterhoorn, a traditional pagan instrument used to chase away the winter by bloewing it around the shortest day of the year. Still done in the part of the Netherlands I was born, here's one being made:

There is, by the way, an ongoing fight between the traditionalists, who play a single drawn out note, or the modernists, who play a simple melody. Sounds best over a well, by the way.

Hint: Do not try to take an unwrapped one on a intercontinental flight. I did once, it caused a lot of raised eyebrows from surprised officials.

Who knows? Maybe that "artifact" contains new life to finally replace ours here on Earth:

Wasn't that the one where the 'alien force' possessed her and if all you wanted was 'sex'…she 'absorbed' you..LITERALLY, (she and her boyfriend/fiance HAD been 'celibate'…waiting for marriage)…but when they made 'true love'…they both survived and the 'alien energy butterfly' was released and all was well…showing 'celibacey/safe sex and true love' conquers all!

Awwwwww……isn't that cute!

(talk about Science Fantasy)

besides…wasn't there another movie from the 50's where a bunch of larger 'projectiles'…similar to that…entered earth's atmosphere…(most of the rocket shape melting down)…and then they were collected and combined inside this huge tank with methane or something..into a giant weed monster or whatever???

See how 'memorable' that was?

And…I wish all those DARN non-terrestrials would stop sending us their 'kids', seeds, progeny, pets and poor huddled masses yearing for human females and not wanting to wait for Soylent Green…and leave us the heck alone!

We are NOT the 'red light district', pet kennel or 'McD's' of the Milky Way!!!

Slishfully,

Either that or the Carrot Monsters from Lexx…

It looks like some sort of fossilised seed pod (a bit like a lengthened pine-cone).

Alien? I very much doubt it.

Looks like a piece of charred wood artistically photographed.

Depends on the size, which is cautiously not shown in the photo…Could be a fossil graptolite, a burnt lump of Joshua Tree or anything magnified.

Any footage of it being handled, and/or next to something of a recognisable size?

Covert Walrus,

There are a couple of such photos further down this page:

Perhaps its origin involves a very small narwhale . . .

LOL. Perhaps.

Dan

As I recall, they performed x-ray analysis on that sample and it has five-fold quasicrystals. Of course, in one of the links, some similar statement is listed as a supposition of an author so maybe my memory is faulty. So, if it's a fake, it might be an interesting one.

It looks like some kind of fossilized invertebrate to me.

Looks like a stalagtite cut from a cavern ceiling somewhere.

The graininess looks like a picture from an electron microscope. It's probably something very common blown up to a gazillion times.
For the non-scientists out there a gazillion is WAY bigger than a lot. Approx. 30x a _____ load.

Alyssa Milano c. 1995, wow.

Thanks for this post, didn't know about that Outer Limits episode, or rather, I didn't realize the series was, er, a cable show for mature viewers.

For others interested in say, references for sculpting an anatomically accurate miniature of Ms. Milano from this period, I direct you to the film "Embrace of the Vampire". Interestingly, she is cast as almost exactly the same character, a college girl who despite a steady boyfriend is keeping herself chaste until marriage, and likewise an outside entity inflicts a sexual obsession on her, although in this case it's a vampire not an alien. There are plenty more scenes of her without, er, visually interfering drapery, so you can be sure to get your sculpture anatomically accurate.

Embrace of the Vampire: imdb.com/title/tt0109723

I'll have to check it out. Thanks Don.

I guess the aliens are encasing "stuff" in carbonite instead of treating it with chemical blue and dumping it over the ocean.

Employees must wash hands before returning to bizarre conjectural speculation.

Kind of looks like shark egg pods – I forget what they are called.

Still say electron……

I may have been too hasty in my original assessment. After reading that they managed to find enough (50%) analysts to conclude that it's not of earthly origin (and therefore, OBVIOUSLY alien technology), I assumed the implication was that it dropped from the spacecraft. However, upon reviewing the sequence of events associated with the find, it's clear that this is the alien equivalent of the blue ice that occasionally falls from our meager earthling aircraft. So while not of "earthly" origin, it is certainly of "earthy" origin (sorta).

Aliens poop aluminum. Who'd have thunk it?

- Bob

Despite what the new egghead the Histrionic Channel's brought in to bolster the case for intelligent extraterrestrial origin says, I'm still tentatively betting on unintelligent extraterrestrial origin. Since I'm supposed to be serious about this.

"Aliens poop aluminum. Who'd have thunk it?"

LOL

Dan

Space poop! You see the edges on that thing! I bet that every time they even think they have to go they start shaking like dog trying to krap razor blades, Plus anyone that can drop one of those has got to be one tough (fill in the blank) let alone a whole race of them. You run into someone that can drop a clinker like that you call him "SIR!"
