Someone Lost A Tooth...!

Actually, it was a tooth from what appears to be some sort of gear. The strange part is the rest of the story, as it appeared on Listverse.

The Russian UFO Tooth Wheel



A Russian man found a strange piece of machinery from Vladivostok, the administrative capital of the Primorsky Krai area. The object resembled a piece of tooth wheel and was embedded in a piece of coal he was using to light a fire. Although discarded pieces of old machines are not uncommon in Russia, the man became curious and showed his find to some scientists. Testing revealed that the toothed object was almost pure aluminum and almost certainly artificially made.

Also, it was 300 million years old. This raised some interesting questions, as aluminum of this purity and shape can’t form naturally and humans didn’t figure out how to make it until 1825. Curiously, the object also resembles parts that are used in microscopes and other delicate technical devices.

Although conspiracy theorists have been quick to declare the find a part of an alien spaceship, the scientists researching it are not willing to jump to conclusions and wish to run further tests in order to learn more about the mysterious artifact.

If indeed this gear came from a piece of machinery, my guess is that it isn't working too well any more. That is, of course, unless it was replaced!

Coffee out on the patio this morning, unless the rains start back up!

Wow, that really is a mystery! How can something that was invented until the 1800's be 300million years old. Hurts my brain just thinking about it. I know, let's blame the aliens; they aren't around to defend themselves anyway.

Hey Linda...
The whole thing seems a little strange, doesn't it? But like you say, gotta blame somebody, so...
Thanks for stopping by this morning!

If you look there has been a lot of "stuff" found in improbable places, an aluminum gear embedded in coal? Either there is a LOT we don't know or it's all some type of hoax.
Hoax is usually easier for most people to deal with than a reality that puts machined parts on the ground 300 million years ago.

Hey Rob...
Some folks don't want to acknowledge that our history may include some events we may not be ready to accept. Like you say, it's easier to accept that the whole thing may be a hoax. Truth is many times stranger than fiction.
Thanks for coming by this morning!

It's aliens, I tell ya! We're having quite a bit of rain here. That means I can't get outside to do any yard work. Oh, well, there's stuff needing to be done inside.

Strange indeed, things keep popping up that don't seem to have any answers too. Where did this guy get the piece of coal from?

I heard lots of rain in many areas of TX. Here it's the horrible heat already, don't know if I will make the out door graduation tomorrow since it's going to be 103.

Hey Momlady...
Probably a sign that you should stay inside, don't ya think?
Thanks for the visit today!


Hey Jo...
More storms headed this way tonight. They call it a cold front...HA!
Thanks, sweetie, for dropping by today!
