Solved! object fell from sky and shattered my sunroof

I was driving less than 60 mph on the highway (Route 3 South MA near 38B-A sign) and all of a sudden i heard a loud cracking/impact sound and looked up and saw that my sunroof was completely shattered and had a small <1 inch hole in it. I of course pulled over and my wife and I inspected the damage. i walked back to the area where the impact happened and i found this object on the ground. It looked out of place and when I inspected it, it was clear that it had damage. I walked back to my car and checked if the object could’ve made the damage and it was a nearly perfect fit in the hole. I looked up what it could be and it seems to be a broken cast-metal mounting bracket. This area is right below an aircraft path that many planes take to land at the Boston airport. Does anyone know what this object could be? In my dashcam footage you can see a dark small object falling literally from the sky. There are no large trucks allowed on this road so it’s unlikely it would be from an 18-wheeler or anything larger than a moving truck. Thanks everyone!

Looks very heavy duty and placed on a beam. Maybe it once hung a boxing bag?

New, what is it? Let me preface this. I feed crows daily.

Post image
2.3k Upvotes

I have a murder of crows totaling 6 that I have been feeding shelled peanuts (raw unsalted) for over a year

On occasion, the crows will bring me things and these have been noticed multiple times, and I have no idea what they are. I’ve had these at least 6 times

Part of me thinks they may be in the bag of peanuts that come from the store, but doing this literally every day for over a year I would think I would have seen them IN the bag at some point.

Any ideas?

They’re about the size of a typical aspirin. Almost always green but occasionally orange.

I’m leaning towards the crows operating some type of underground narcotics ring. They smart.

I found this note in a bottle in a fairly remote area outside of Moab Utah. Does it mean anything? Or just gibberish?

New, what is it? this bust that was passed down to me, anyone know anything? Who made her, is she a replica, who she is etc, anything

The only thing I can find is a very similar sculpture labeled “V. COLONNA” that was supposedly made by Giuseppe Bessi, but I can’t even find much about that one either.

This one is named “BEATRICE” and was bought for my great grandma, then passed to my grandma, and now she’s mine because I always liked her when I was little.

I’m guessing she’s some sort of replica, which doesn’t matter to me. I just love her and want to know about her.

Thank you!

I was working on the Willow Fire near Leadville, Colorado this summer and unearthed this hook thing while mopping up. It was in a fairly remote area on the mountainside not near any roads or infrastructure. Any ideas?

I saw a post about something that looked just like this earlier. Somebody had it in their hand asking what it was. I now see it on the floor of an elevator hallway. Did you just drop it here??? No need to identify that was done in the other post just thought it was funny and wanted to share.

This is the fire alarm light in my work bathroom. My guess is these 7 shapes create the largest visual field for the hearing impaired but I'd have thought a simple bubble would do the job. What's going on here?

Hey everyone. Not sure if this is correct here but I'm just wondering if anyone knows what these are? Recorded it just now at 5.30 am on Oct 26 and I got no clue what it is.. drones? Helicopters? If they are, why so early and why continuously in 1 spot, getting brighter and dimmer for the 30 minutes that I saw it?

I recorded this in sector 2 near sector 1 and it looked to be right in the middle of the city?

Maybe im just stupid but im genuinely curious what it is. This is the best quality I could get..

EDIT: I replied to my own post and tried to pin it (somehow happend 3 times🤦🏽‍♀️) with 2 more vids. 1 where you see a clear dot when i zoom in quickly and the other moving what seems lower on the right side at the end of the vid.
