Recently, a collector from Lanzhou discovered a peculiar stone containing a threaded metal rod, drawing the attention of experts. This stone was found in the Mazong Mountains at the border of Gansu and Xinjiang, shaped like a pear and entirely black, emitting a mysterious glow. Inside, there is a cone-shaped metal rod approximately 6 centimeters long, with distinct signs of machining. Experts speculate it could be a 'meteorite,' holding significant research and archaeological value.
These mysterious artifacts are referred to as 'Ooparts,' meaning out-of-place artifacts found in contexts where they shouldn't exist. As early as 1844, a stone containing iron nails was discovered in the Jackdaw Quarry in England. Although the nails were rusty, their shape remained intact. Experts estimate this stone to be at least 60 million years old.
In California, USA, in 1961, while collecting stones, three individuals—Rein, Maxil, and Marksi—uncovered a stone containing parts resembling modern igniters. A metal shaft was encased in a hexagonal tube that had fossilized over time, yet it still reacted to magnets. This object might be a machine part that fell into the soil a century ago, but geologists believe the stone is at least 500,000 years old.
