Two objects reportedly crashed to the ground near Ulan Bator, the capital of Mongolia on Feb. 19, 2010. The first object, according to the report on the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness database, weighed 10 kg, while the second larger object weighed approximately 2 tons. Other than that, there’s not a lot of information available about the objects. But of course, UFOers are having a field day, calling the image, above, that accompanied the report a “leaked UFO crash” picture. But the object looks suspiciously like a rocket or jet engine, or perhaps a rocket nose cone. Objects that crash to Earth likely have a very terrestrial origin. We’ll provide an update when any news becomes available. But if you are looking for a few laughs, check out the comments on Io9.

    Maybe it’s another civilization’s Voyager, having traveled for billions of years before crashing into our planet. We should look for a gold record to play and some binary code to decrypt. :)

    If you look at this thing there appears to be a fuel tank that has been popped open inside the main cylinder. The more I think about it people probably should not be standing around this thing. The chemical residues in that ripped open tank are probably toxic.

    Eww looks like a hazardous bottom stage of a Russian/Chinese rocket to me.

    Odd that it fell from the sky yet seems to have not disturbed the soil or rocks around it at all, in this photo anyway. Any further info on these things?

    Does anyone have the Google Earth coordinates for this?
