I found this mystical object in a river nearby where I live in Norway.

It was lying unscathed and in perfect condition without a scratch amongst stones and sands in the middle of a river.


No one has been able to tell me what it is. I found it two years ago, and am now trying to find someone that can identify it, because it's characteristics does not make any sense to me.

I have now contacted and been replied by National Geographic (did not have any staff that could identify the object) from them I was referred to NGI, Norwegian Geological Institute who neither had any expertise in identifying objects found in the ground. I am also waiting for a couple of more instances to reply to my inquiries, a.m.o some archeological ones, however, I doubt I will get any answers.

It weighs 15,3 grams, measure 2,6 cm diagonally, 1,4 cm vertically and is 0,6mm thick. The four sides measures about 2,5cm. The metal looks grey but has a rainbow coloured hew over it as one can see from the directly frontal shot. It doesn't look like anything that I know. It feels very heavy to hold for it's small size, too heavy for jewelry, too perfectly cut/designed to be a common part of an engine or any machine, at least of what little I know; not that I am anything of an engineer. It looks like both a decorative artifact as well as one of practical use. I can't help being curious.

Anyone?

Welcome to TN, WTF. Even though you told us the metric size, it would be easier to visualize with something in the picture for size comparison.. Also most of us are not familiar with metric sizes. I dont even have a Metric ruler. Correct me if Im wrong, but I think this is about the size of a mans ring? It looks much larger in the pic. Excuse me while I try to find a Metric ruler. I hope I can find one. :D

It does look more like a decorative piece then a mechanical/functional piece. It could be part of an emblem/ornament from a car or boat.

25mm or 2.5cm = 1 inch

In fact it does very much resemble a UFO. Even the metal seems very strange, and that notion was the first thing that went through my head as I saw it.

The size, the shape, the metal... It's beautiful as well as being completely strange. I do appreciate qualified guesses and ideas about this object.

Sry about the measurement- issue, didn't think about that one...

Give me a sec to dust off my camera... new pic in a few minutes:)

I have no ideas yet but I would think it must have been recently lost because there is no corrosion. My first question is will it stick to a magnet?

It almost appears to be powdercoated.

The rainbow colors make it look to be hardened or heat treated. Maybe when it entered the atmosphere? :tard:

It almost looks to be stackable. (if you had more than one)

Here, gives you an idea about the size. Very small, too heavy for jewelry. No attachment point or signs of waring, totally symmetrical; I have trouble seeing it as a thing on a car or boat as mentioned earlier....
