A North Carolina man found a massive, mysterious object on a remote hiking trail — with many believing it fell from outer space.
The Haywood County man was a grounds worker doing maintenance in the area when he and his friend stumbled upon the object.
According to WLOS, “So far, the object hasn’t been inspected by aerospace experts, but the discovery has a lot of people scratching their heads. Justin Clontz, who’s a grounds maintenance worker, found it earlier this week along a remote trail on a property owned by The Glamping Collective.
“The unidentified object is about three feet high, and it’s so heavy that the worker had to tow it out of the trail using a lawn mower,” the outlet continued. “With a piece of debris this big, one would expect someone to have heard it hurling toward the ground but so far, that doesn’t seem to be the case.”
Mysterious Object Found on North Carolina Trail, Possibly From Outer Space
Clontz’s coworker/friend originally pointed out the mysterious object about half a mile from where he was doing maintenance in North Carolina.
“We don’t know what it is,” Clontz said. “We just know it’s not from up here.”
He then went on to mention how “it landed perfectly in the trail,” which might or might not be a coincidence, depending on who you ask.
The owner of Glamping Collective said that they plan to contact aerospace experts for more information on the object.
On the TikTok video, one person asked, “What makes them think it’s even a space object??” To which someone else replied, “AI😳 thinks so…This image appears to show debris from a destroyed or damaged spacecraft component, likely from a rocket or satellite.”
A third person commented, “It’s from earth. 💯. Our alien friends likely don’t use Allen wrenches to remove their hardware. It’s prob part of a satellite or something!”
