I almost hope it wasn’t, because it might have been worth a lot of money… anyway…
Around 17 years ago, my cousin and I found a chunk of something in the woods of Jessieville, a “suburb” of Hot Springs, Arkansas. This is only relevant because at the time, the nearest phone was 5 miles away. My father had purchased an old “homestead” on 20 acres, which had been built in the late 19th century. So the “rock” was more likely a product of nature than technology.
Anyway, this thing might have been previously mentioned in a thread or two, but tonight I really wannano.
We found it deep in the woods, where there was no other immediate evidence of human technology. It was blue-green in color, sort of like a mix of jade and turquoise. It was hard like plastic or polyuerethane. Almost like skateboard wheels or a melted bowling ball, but not at all brittle or glass-like.
The best way I can describe it, is like… Picture two sixteen pound lime-green/aquamarine translucent/transparent (an amalgamation of the four charactaristics) bowling balls, melted together and left in the woods where nobody would ever find them.
My dad once said my cousin and I could “tear up a cannonball with a toothpick”, meaning we were efficient at destroying things, once we set our collective minds upon it. Well we tried, and could not break this thing.
We jumped up really high and threw it down really hard, unto cement and rocks, to no avail. We burned it in fires, to no avail. We chucked it out the car window at a sign, to no avail. And that was where we left it.
Now I think it was probably a meteorite, and I lost out on a free hundred grand or so
