Large metal object falls to Earth near a village and no one knows what it is

Imagine peacefully living in the mountains and getting ready to start your day when suddenly a large UFO falls from the sky.

For the inhabitants of the village of Lone Khin, located in Hpakant township, that’s exactly what happened on November 10. Well, almost exactly anyway.

A cylindrical object about 12 feet long and 5 feet in diameter crashed into a nearby abandoned jade mine early in the morning and awoke the villagers.

Following the crash, there was smoke and the smell of something burning in the air.

Daw Ma Kyi, a villager in Lone Khin, told The Myanmar Times, “Initially, we thought it was a battle. The explosion made our houses shake. We saw the smoke from our village.”

Some villagers think the object is a piece of aircraft, presumably the engine.

“I think it was an engine because I found a diode and many copper wires at the tail of the body. It also looks like a jet engine block,” surmised another inhabitant of Lone Khin, Ko Maung Myo.

On Facebook, a former executive engineer of the Department of Civil Aviation noted that it could be a rocket booster and not actually a piece of aircraft.

Authorities have announced that experts are checking out the as yet U(F?)O.

However, until someone actually verifies what the object is, we have our own theories.

After all, following the Brexit vote and the results of the latest presidential election, would it really be that surprising if aliens had now begun invading Earth as well?
