WHAT COULD THIS BE

Looks a bit like the casing from a parachute flair we used in the Army in the 70's. I don't know if they are still used.

Maybe part of a weather balloon

was it near Roswell?

Reggie,

It looks to be of pretty light construction, pretty rough so maybe not intended for repeated use. You haven't told us how big it is - centimetres? metres? From the vegetation I'm guessing 10-15 cm long.

My guess is part of a weather balloon, hidden inside the square housing below the balloon proper. These photos are from Giles, shortly before visits were stopped.




Another option is some kind of gas burning nozzle.

Cheers

It's quiet obvious, it's a wigwam for a goose's bridle.
Cheers.

I think your close to being correct Muzbry, but I think its the earlier model doozer, which would be the "dooza" model doozer. LOL

Marty mc fly wants his flux capacitor back

There is nothing to compare it to for scale, but it looks like the carrier assembly for a para flare.

Your'e all wrong.......... It is the latest model Hiclone. Not yet released and still in development trials. I have it on good information from my neighbour's butcher

Fits on the discharge of the exhaust pipe. The fins are ionically charged and draw the exhaust gases out. Adds 25% economy to fuel consumption.

I've just had a call from some Martians.

They want their left rear side, flux-smoothing thronomeister back.

They're stranded in the middle of the Great Sandy desert until they can refit it.

They can't take off until it's re-fitted because it assists in stabilisation on take-off.

They stated that they're offering a reward of 4 boxes of green cheese to the person who returns it.

They called AutoBarn, AutoOne, Supercheap and Covs and they said, that like all parts suppliers, they were absolutely bloody useless, unless the Martians could supply make, year, model, and a part number.

The basic problem was that Martian years are not compatible with Earth years.

They said the parts blokes also mentioned something about the construction material being "unobtainium" and suggesting it wasn't available.
This surprised the Martians greatly, as unobtainium is in plentiful supply on Mars.

Cheers, Ron.

This is a canister that contained the missing smallpox virus samples from not long ago. The North Koreans tried to launch it in a 'test' missile firing towards the USA however the rocket headed due south towards Australia. So this is where it ended up... Geez...
