A piece of aluminium, which appears to have been handmade, was discovered in 1973 but supposedly kept secret at the time. The chunk of metal is now being hailed as a 250,000-year-old proof that aliens once visited Earth.

 

Following a number of tests, it was found that the object is made of 12 metals and is 90per cent aluminium. The results of the tests were later confirmed by a lab in Lausanne, Switzerland.

 

Since metallic aluminium was not produced by humans until around 200 years ago, the discovery of the large chunk is being held up as a sensational find.

 

Gheorghe Cohal, the Deputy Director of the Romanian Ufologists Association, said: 'Lab tests concluded it is an old UFO fragment given that the substances it comprises cannot be combined with technology available on Earth.'

 

However, local historian Mihai Wittenberger said that the object is a metal piece from a World War II German aircraft. 

 

'It is fairly rare for people to find chunks of metal attributed to UFO crashes', Nigel Watson author of the UFO Investigations Manual said. 

 

'The (in)famous Roswell flying saucer crash of 1947 is alleged to have left wreckage that was impossible to cut or burn and would return to its original shaped if crumpled up.

 

'Unfortunately, the USAF whisked all the wreckage away leaving conspiracy theorists to think that the US government has a flying saucer stashed away in Area 51.

 

'If UFO wreckage is kept from the grasp of the US government, or by mystery "Men In Black", it usually has a mundane explanation. 

 

'In some cases our own satellites have crashed and have been regarded as UFO wreckage, which is a good way of keeping a space mission secret.

 

'In this instance, it could be wreckage of a satellite, and that's why it was kept secret back in 1973.

 

'As with all such cases, the debate between the UFO supporters and people with more Earthly explanations tends to rumble on without either side conceding defeat'.
