Farmer finds alleged UFO on his land
According to a LiveScience website post, Franz Knoglinger, a farmer from Austria, reported that a mysterious hole appeared in his plot overnight. Due to the perfectly rounded shape of the excavation, man believes it was made by aliens.
Knoglinger found the crater while searching for the family pet. “I was looking for the family cat, Murlimann, when I spotted the hole. I didn't know its depth, so I threw a rock and heard a metallic noise. The time it took the stone to reach the bottom makes me believe that it is deep, ”he said. Using a magnet, the man confirmed that there was something metallic at the bottom of the crater.
A local historian decided to study the case and found that the hole was made decades ago. In the 1950s, an oil extraction company conducted excavations at this location. The round shape of the crater comes from drills used for this type of activity.
According to the investigation, a piece of this equipment broke down and was abandoned - which caused the metallic noise reported by the farmer. According to the publication, the Murlimann cat was found in a closet.
