It's the anti magnetic needle the vikings used for navigation. They were intending to rape and pillage in Ireland or Scotland, but the needle screwed up and they rowed against the prevailing wind all the way to BatMan lake, and of course once they got out of the ocean it wore the bottom out of their boat, which made them mad and they threw the anti magnetic needle away, and they stayed in CT for years and years, teaching the natives to never trust anti magnetic needles, to use only stone for tools, becoming very wealthy in the process, so they moved to Florida and retired. When they ran out of money they tried to be pirates, but the bottom of their boat never did get properly repaired and a gator ate their clock. Bummer, I'm getting mixed up between stories of vikings and space junk. Have any sputniks fell out of orbit and landed in BatMan lake. Turn it over to NASA, they will really be tickled to get it and when they get the funds they can study what the Russians are using in orbit. Earth signing off.
