It is heavy, solid, and clearly designed for a purpose—but what that purpose might be is exactly what has people scratching their heads. A photograph of the unusual metal object recently sparked a wave of curiosity after someone came across…
For most pilots, seeing birds in the sky is nothing unusual. Birds fly across fields, coastlines, cities, and open countryside every day.

Sixteen years ago, I thought I understood what my life was going to be. I was thirty-nine years old, single, and working long hours as a mechanic at a small auto repair shop. Cars made sense to me.
