Does this mysterious piece of aluminium prove UFOs visited Earth 250,000 years ago?

A piece aluminium that looks as if it was handmade is being hailed as 250,000-year-old proof that aliens once visited Earth.

The discovery of the mysterious chunk of metal in communist Romania in 1973 was not made public at the time, according to CEN.

Testing has since revealed that the object is made of 12 metals and is 90 per cent aluminium with Romanian officials dating it as being 250,000 years old.

The initial results were later confirmed by a lab in Lausanne, Switzerland, CEN reports.

I'm not saying it's aliens but it's aliens.

Blaming it on aliens? Are you, perchance, in on the conspiracy to cover up time travel?

Ping a ling...

Time travel! HAH! You must be one of those covering up for the interdimensional travelers.

if it's truly 250,000+ years old... that means:

1. previous civilization was wiped out (very unlikely)
2. beings visited the planet and left the piece for some reason (very likely)
3. at some point in time, we develop time travel and the piece was accidentally left in the past (maybe)

250,000 years in the future those fry pans that don’t require cooking oil will prove we were an advanced civilization.

On that planet some company that made flying saucers probably ran an ad showing a dropped tricorder punching a hole in their competition’s aluminum saucer.

No, it proves that they knew how to smelt aluminium prior to the Flood, and then it got buried in sediment that was compressed into “250,000 year old rock.”

If it were transparent I’d be really impressed.

Clearly it’s a tooth from a back-hoe or front-end loader.......they couldn’t have been that advanced as aluminum is a soft metal and wouldn’t last that long....

There’s frying pans that dont require cooking oil?

I heard the theory of all possible outcomes means I’m a success and still good looking in another universe :)

I would not dismiss #1 so quickly.

[NorthMountain]

Some strange folk us aluminum frying pans that are coated with fluoropolymers or ceramics.

I oppose this sort of thing ...

looks like an alternator bracket

Too bad the article gave zero details of where the 250,000 year age came from. It can’t be carbon dating because it wasn’t alive.
