Crashed UFO? Spy Balloon Component? Nope it's a . . . .

. . . battery

Hiker stumbles across mysterious object in Yukon's Tombstone Territorial Park.

"I was like, 'well, that's it — I found the space balloon payload, or whatever,'" Beaudoin told CBC News. "I don't think that's it, but it would be pretty cool if it was."

Many speculations arose, from an excavator battery, to a flux capacitor.

And then an expert checks in:

Biernaski is the manager of NAPA Auto Parts in Dawson and he thought he knew what it was as soon as he saw it.

"I think that's a battery," he said. "With the plates and the connections between the plates — that's what I would think. It's just missing its case."

Nothing to see here folks. That way to the egress.

The exit is over there...

I have no egrets.

Reminds me of the "meteor" crater in Portmarnock beach....

I have no egrets.

I have a few, but too few to mention.

Spaceships probably have windshield wipers. I'm guessing that's why they need car batteries.

Miss Otis has egrets. Beautiful plumage..
