No one seems to know what washed up on the South Carolina coast last week.
It’s cylindrical, covered in some type of insulating foam and is obviously some kind of artifact, but created by who?
Some speculate that it a remnant from the Challenger space shuttle that exploded soon after take off about 30 years ago.
Others think it’s just some washed up buoy, while some go so far as to declare that it’s not of this world. See Here
Moochelle’s diaphragm?

You should have seen some of the crap that we cleared out of America’s “marine highways” when I was in the Coast Guard (scary) and we never knew what half of it was
Interstage mating collar from a rocket.
Ahh. . . there’s my cooler.
Thanks! Gotta go, the Gang is meeting for ice cream at the library.
Whatever it is, it hasn’t been in the water that long (certainly not since the Challenger blew up) or it would have barnacles and other marine life all over it.
@Lowell has a good idea with the mating collar of some sort. I’d like to see a photo of a SpaceX rocket assembly for comparison.
Or maybe Michael Moore lost a flatus tube connector.
Acoustical part of a Soviet Submarine that was lost during the hunt for Red October?
Covering for a spent nuclear fuel canister dumped in the ocean that has fallen apart.
Part of a failed Soyuz?
@ Cato – good guess, they insulated those things? From a nuke sub? Ours or the Roooskies?
Best to guess is looking at the scale of the object with the woman looking at her phone…
It’s the gun turret from the USS Monitor.
Probably a nuke from that B-47 that went missing in 1956.
It’s a nucular device from the Bushie II era.
Someone in the comment section mentioned that it was probably
one of the floats under Guam….That bitch is tipping over tomorrow.
Secure Team 10 on utube shows
it compared to a “pipe float”.
Sure looks like one.
