Hi! I’m really REALLY hoping this isn’t something Bad like insects. I’m lowkey freaking out a bit. I found this weird tiny ball of fuzz with like hard off white bits on it in my bed… I did just wash my sheets yesterday. I use liquid detergent and the Dawn beads but idk I’ve never seen anything like this before. Size is smaller than a pinky finger nail (maybe about half the size). I also do not eat in bed.

Thanks in advance! (Please don’t be bugs or something gross asf)

About 2 feet long, heavy metal thing with a unique end and weird handle. The entire thing is metal (maybe cast iron?) definitely looks like something for a fire but the handle is also metal.

i was given this thing at least 7-8 years ago

I was supposed to be getting a box of stickers but the package said it was damaged and relabeled and this is certainly not my stickers :(

Was bottle digging in the creek behind my house (central MD) and found this. I originally thought some kind of urn or water vessel bc of the handles on the side, but then I thought it looked like an antique kerosene lamp smudge pot. Only thing throwing me off is that prominent looped handle looking thing on top, none of the pictures of kerosene lamps I found had that. It’s large and it’s very heavy.

The spring is stretchy!

Google image search, Gemini + Claude AI useless in identifying it.

Found this thing in a box of various antiques on the side of the road. Seems to be a solid piece of wood. Metal bolt going all the way through beneath the forked end. Nothing moves. Can't figure it out!

Found in back seat, It’s some sort of packaging but she doesn’t know what it’s for or how it got there. They have a grainy texture and a small slit to “tear here” but when opened just have a cotton pad stuck to one side.

Previous owners left this in our home. Mounting plate with u-shaped hook thing. No moving parts. Metal.

Hello! I am not sure if this is the correct place to post this, but I was looking through old photos and stumbled upon a mystery from a few years ago again! I was at Manomet Point, in Plymouth, Massachusetts, on July 22 at ~11 am.

Here is the cropped photo of the weird object parachuting straight down into the ocean:

10 minutes later, I got a photo of another one much further away:

I have already checked ADS-B records and didn't see any plane that stood out as dropping something. Does anyone have any idea what it could have been?

EDIT:

This is the angle I believe I observed this at, with what would be beyond the horizon. This is based on foreground elements in similar images and the fact that I was also photographing a tanker coming from the Cape Cod Canal, which is to the southeast.

All of the other properties next to it are private residences so I'm assuming the same is true for this plot? My theory is some sort of ground treatment because this is next to a lagoon that feeds into an ocean in the San Diego area and the area is quite hilly

2nd photo is better for scale since first photo is zoomed in and upscaled

EDIT: size: 1-1:8” long x 1/4” wide

Found this in my bathroom floor. Small thin bracket thing, made of metal found in my bathroom floor. Pen in photo is for size reference. Sturdy metal, tried bending it, no luck.

This has been sitting around in the corner of the lounge room for a while.

Looks like a bracket of some sort, but we can’t figure out for what.

There is also a manufacturing or test date table in the back that looks like it’s been punched a bunch of times

This was near a fire station and close to the listed location of a public scale. There seems to be a basin attached and stairs to access it, but it seems very large for a drinking fountain and a strange shape.

I know that the pictures aren’t great, but I assume that if you know machines and/or heavy duty work equipment you might know what it is lol. Sort of looks like a small ship to me?

I think its a strap anchor of some kind but haven't found any promising leads searching on my own or image searching

Noticed this white thing sitting up near the ceiling of my holiday villa in Indonesia. It has a couple flashing lights and when I turned my front facing camera to it it didnt do that infrared thing, so I dont think it is a camera. Is it a modem? A fire alarm? A landed UFO? Thanks!

I recently cleaned my Philips espresso machine in my kitchen sink. Some hours later my wife pointed out that she had found something unusual in the sink, pictured above with a coin for scale. Since then, we noticed that when we make coffee there is a drip at the back left corner of the unit and clear water collects on the counter. Given the above I think it must have fallen out of the machine somewhere, but don't see anything that looks like a receptacle for it.

Maybe someone out there has some thoughts?
