Giant 'UFO fragment' falls from the sky in Siberia
The Telegraph ^ | 3/22/2012

The U-shaped object, resembling a silvery dome, is currently under inspection by Russian experts, after being covertly removed under cover of night from the possession of villagers who found it.

After discovering the device on Sunday, locals from the village of Otradnesnky had managed to drag the “UFO fragment” from the thick forest where it had fallen. They attached it onto a trailer and took it through the snow to their village, where local inspectors then examined it before alerting Moscow authorities.

In an official statement, Sergey Bobrov, who found the object, agreed to keep it safe.

But following their stealthy removal of the 200-kilogram metal fragment, police have it under close guard, on orders from unnamed authorities.

The device has not had its provenance confirmed as of yet. However, the object does not come from a rocket or missile or be in any way associated with terrestrial space technology, it has been announced.

“The object found is not related to space technology. A final conclusion can be made after a detailed study of the object by experts,” said Roscosmos, theRussianspace agency.

Experts have also examined the object to determine whether it poses a hazard.

“We measured the radiation level near and inside the object. We found no radiation here,” said Yuri Bornyakov, who heads the rescue service department of the Kuybyshevsky district in the Novosibirsk region.

Somewhere, some AeroFlot pilot is wondering what the heck fell off of the plane.

Probably a "stage ring" protecting the nozzle from a rocket, my guess, between second and third stage booster,
or bottom cover to a satellite.

Hey, takes a lot of vodka antifreeze in Siberia this time of year.

Who knows what you might find stumbling around in the woods?

It looks like the first stage “cap” for a rocket (possibly a Zenit).

The amazing thing to me is that part of it
looks like a van. Wierd.

Oh oh, could it be a Tardis?

Strange video at the site, seems to show
something in the sky, then a house with a hole in
the roof, then the big object on the ground.
Looks like the top of a silo.

could it be connected to THIS??

Possibly part of this Proton rocket and its Breeze M upper stage from Russia’s Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.

Or maybe it was off this heavy-lift Ariane 5 rocket launched on March 23 from Europe’s Guiana Space Center in French Guiana.
On second thought, since it was found March 21, 2012, it couldn't have been the Ariane 5.

The U-shaped object

All that they need now is to find an F-shaped object and an O-shaped object, and they'll have the complete UFO.
