Unidentified Floating Object

Mystery orb from sea dubbed 'unidentified floating object'

Authorities are investigating a mysterious silver orb washed up on the South Carolina coast. They haven't been able to identify the object and say its only features are a series of numbers printed on it.

The 3ft diameter orb is being examined by a number of maritime experts who think it may belong to a ship.

Nasa and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration haven't been able to help identify it. Experts think it could be a flotation device used by a dredging ship but say it doesn't look like one.

Marie Segneri, whose family found the object near their Isle of Palms beach house, said: "They thought it was a giant beach ball - they were going to bring in. They swam out and said it was a very heavy ball - it was metal, had numbers on it - and there was no way they were bringing it in."
Isle of Palms fire chief Ann Graham said: "We're calling it a UFO - an unidentified floating object."

Sorry was meant to include the actual artical -

BEIJING (Reuters) - A team of Chinese scientists is to head out to the far west of the country to investigate a mystery pyramid that local legend says is a launch tower left by aliens from space, Xinhua news agency said Wednesday.


Nine scientists would probe origins of the 165 to 198-foot tall structure -- dubbed "the ET relics" -- in the western province of Qinghai this month, the agency said.

It sits on Mount Baigong, has three caves with triangular openings on its facade and is filled with red-hued pipes leading into the mountain and a nearby salt water lake, Xinhua said. Rusty iron scraps, pipes and unusually shaped stones were scattered around the inhospitable and largely uninhabited area, it said.

A research fellow at a nearby observatory of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences said the theory the pyramid was created by extra terrestrials was "understandable and worth looking into," it added

Xinhua did not report any details on the age of the structure, or any other possible explanations for it.

Being that its in China, don't hold your breath on anything being released if they do find something.

Not to dampen enthusiasm, but what the team is likely to find is the remains of an old salt-works, judging by the description of the location.

wouldnt they know thats what was there?
i mean, if i found an old ford factory in the middle of nebraska, i would likely be able to figure out what it was with my limited knowledge of american history, i wouldnt likely call it an alien structure.

China is one of the central places to trace back the alien hybrids, way way back. Suppression of skeleton remains of strangely built people alongside chinese ancestors have been buried by the traditional routes, same old chestnut with anything remotely important about our planet. M, which stands for Mithras, is supposedly from there, and one source says that he was one of the nrightest of the Heaven-sent.

If you follow such news sites as Rense, it is pretty apparent that the rise of UFO sightings, and of lore, has risen in numbers during spring and at the start of summer. A recent link from the Disclusure project mentions of The Script, and apparently, after the US attack which will almost obliterate an entire city, the result of the recent build-up of promised attacks, there will be a fake threat from aliens. FAKE. But birdy says that some of these vehicles wil be manned by real aliens. Just as I have been saying for the past years.

...Ford Cortina. *groan*, now I have to carry the mental image of little grey men zooming around in cortinas for the rest of the evening. Thanks a bunch Elijah.

And while the locals may know what was on the site in times past, I think that passing the structure off as potentially alien would generate a lot more interest amongst passers-by than calling it an old salt works. It's comparable to those road-side America attractions that advertise themselves with enormous billboards and then turned out to be nothing more than a very dim cave or grandma's doll collection or something like that.

I could describe the abandoned Nebraskan Ford factory as an alien spacecraft assembly plant or as a temple of a technology-worshipping sect, as long as the person I was describing it to didn't know what it was before and had little or no clue about the area's history.

(Abandoned Nebraskan Ford Factory is now the official term I'm going to use to describe my office...or the name for the band I'm going to start someday. )
