http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/weird-news/experts-believe-mysterious-aluminium-object-9086060

According to tests, the object is made of 12 metals, 90% aluminium, and it was dated by Romanian officials as being 250,000 years old. The initial results were later confirmed by a lab in Lausanne, Switzerland.

Other experts who conducted later tests said the dates were far alter, ranging between 400 and 80,000 years old, but even at 400 years old it would still be 200 years earlier than when aluminium was first produced.


There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB.
The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed.
There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

Only logical explanation is aliens or Thor made it.

I don't know pieces of aluminum were slamming into the ground at high speed and heat roughly 70 years ago in that area.

Lemme see...

Quote:
Gheorghe Cohal, the Deputy Director of the Romanian Ufologists Association, told local media: "Lab tests concluded it is an old UFO fragment given that the substances it comprises cannot be combined with technology available on Earth."

Local historian Mihai Wittenberger has tried to claim that the object is actually a metal piece from a World War II German aircraft. However, this does not explain the age of the artefact.


So the ufologist has more believability than a historian?


But the biggest issue I have with it? Claiming tests results "dated" the sample. There is no inherent test to date metals (certainly not carbon dating).

The methods are more analytical than chemical: https://www.howitworksdaily.com/how-can-we-age-metal-items/

And of course...found in Romania in 1973... because we know how detailed and accurate records in Romania were in 1973.

A supposed advanced Alien race which came to Earth with ships or whatever made of.....
.... Aluminium, LoL biggrin

Even we the humans, that still aren't a space faring species can build stuff with much more advanced materials than... Aluminium! How about Titanium or Composite materials?? tsktsktsk, what weak bunch of aliens!

Now how about this, my opinion is that:
This was piece of metal was actually built by Count Dracula himself! Afterall this is Romania, LoL biggrin

I for one await the arrival of our aluminium alloy masters.

Actually, how do you date a piece of metal?

I dated a nice piece of metal once, but she was a cold, hard woman!

I bet she got soft once you heated her up.

I'm happy to change, "aluminium" is just more fun to say.

About the historian who suggested it's part of an aircraft, just find the type of aircraft and prove that the part fits, end of story. (was there a link to that? couldn't find one. Or if it's in the article, I skipped the type of aircraft he suggested it to be.)

If it's really from that time period, IMO it could be like the antikythera machine. We just think everyone else is stupid including our ancestors and go "ooooh! they could do that back then! They werent that stupid after all."

There is no way a metal object could be mixed with loose fossils in the bed of an active river.
