This is truy amazing, Mike, thanks for putting all this information together. With all the info you've assembled, I'd say this looks pretty legit.
Another great research job, thanks Mike! I'm flagging this.

Nice find, Mike. Is that first pic a microscopic view of the object? It looks like one of those microscopic pics of bed-bugs or hair.

Maybe this story is similar to the Pomare Disk story, huh? Hmm..speaking of which, whatever happened to the Pomare Disk anyway?

No, the size of the object is actually a bit bigger than what you see in the photo which is why it is very strange.

Very interesting thread, helps quality UFO discussion in this forum. Thanks for posting it!

Flagged!

[color=Orange]I remember when Bob White was on "Judge Joe Brown" with his object and was treated with ridicule by all concerned. Joe Brown was not impressed one bit by the analysis done on the object. I am a believer in the extra terrestrial origins of the Bob White object even if Judge Joe Brown is not.[/color]

Ah yes, I remember this episode, I was upset that it did not go further into this event, which made me a bit skeptical.

I just don't see how that event wasn't more famous, of course the cover-up excuse comes into play.

Still, quite a good story, that object always looked very odd to me, like some sort of prehistoric invertebrate creature, like a crustacean...though it's apparently hardened "fire" of some sort...

This is really old. They have NEVER found out what it is. Doesn't mean it was MADE by aliens, only that it itself is alien.

I wouldn't be surprised if some of the space garbage left by Military and government orbital missions came back down...
with the high percentage of aluminum in the sample, it does seem to indicate a material manufactured for use in space.

Wouldn't an aluminum alloy mixture used by secretive agencies be a proprietary manufacturing secret, able to be exempt from disclosure?

What an interesting find, not only for Mr White, but for us here on ATS too. Thanks, Mike!

As to what it is...who can tell, though my initial reaction was that it has all the hallmarks of something having been petrified, possibly a hitherto unknown primordial plant. I'm no expert, and therefore have no idea what archaic plant life may look like, but if it turns out to be that, then it wouldn't surprise me. It would annoy me, however.

Of course, what I want it to be is something completely different!

Oh, pleasepleaseplease let it be alien, purely because of its wonderfully bizarre structure!
Can you imagine what type of ship it may be part of, and what the entire ship might look like, based on that small remnant?

Did I hear anyone mention H.R.Giger?

The question that begs to be asked, in all seriousness, is why this object has not been seen more in the media? If it truly has been proven to be of nonterrestial origin by reputable laboratories, and exhibits properties that it simply shouldn't be there, then why isn't it, at least, plastered on the front of the tabloids, just as the Martian metoerite ALH 84001 and its accompanying calcified microbes were?

Is this just another case of something that might just provide strong evidence for an uncomfortable, and ridiculed, subject being ignored by the mainstream media, because it simply doesn't fit into the "light entertainment" bracket UFOs have been firmly shoved into?

I am friends with a friend of COLM KELLEHER , I can ask if Colm ever responded and if not why. I'll update this thread.

I remember this case but don't remember what came of it. I'll find out.

Yeah, I thought of that, too. It might be the alien equivalent of "blue ice" from airliners.

On the other hand, it kind of also looks like some sort of stalactite ...
