Sanook Thai Caption: What is that khrap?

 

Sanook were contacted by Bunma, 40, also known as "Chang Uan" or Fatty the Repairman who hails from Nong Plong sub-district in Buriram, north eastern Thailand.

 

The fridge repairman said he was out trapping field rats the other evening as is his wont.

 

He was about to prepare his nighttime traps and was walking along a gravel road by a klong.

 

He was all alone, there was no one else about.

 

Suddenly he heard a noise behind him and thought someone was  " 'avin a laugh" at his expense.

 

Picture: Sanook

 

He turned to see a weird black object 8 cms in length that clearly wasn't gravel.

 

He said he didn't dare pick it up at first and gave it a bit of a poke with a stick.

 

He took it home for a wash and did some Googling that suggested it was a meteoroid.

 

But he admitted he's not an expert in celestial bodies and needs help in identifying what it is.

 

It weighs about 50 grams.

 

He tried heating it and it was only hot in the area where the heat directly impacted.

 

It did not conduct the heat like metal would, he said.

It looks like someone dropped a deuce.  Or maybe it's just a Baby Ruth bar.

He poked it with a stick and then tried to set fire to it.

 

Now that all the science is out of the way we'll just have to guess what it is.

Maybe a bit of rocket debris (insulator or ablative material) from recent launch or satellite re-entry. 

Looks like an expired Mars bar.

Sometimes birds carry all sort of stuff in their beaks and let go mid-flight.

A Martian turd.

How many lucky amulets can he make out of that?  He probably has the skills......

It would have been worth a lot more if he hadn't cooked the little green man in his spaceship.

Sadly she didn't scrub up too well in the morning.????????
