UT030: Analysis of a Glass-Like ‘Rock’ Fragment Found at a Purported UFO Landing Site in Poland

Background/Objective
A rural area of Poland has experienced many unusual events possibly relating to UFO type activity for a number of years. Crop circles occur, and peasants see UFO-type craft and lights. One such event occurred several years ago when an old woman saw a brilliant light in the field by her home. She indicated it was associated with a craft that had with a craft that had oblong windows. She also saw entities. The craft was on the ground for several minutes. The next morning her grandson went into the field. At the site of the UFO landing he noted flattened plants and unusual ‘rocks’ that were fluorescing. He took one chunk home. The next day he went back with a wheel barrel for the rest of the ‘rocks’ and found they had disappeared. The chunk he did have continued to fluoresce for six months.
Nancy Talbott sent two fragments of the ‘rock’ along with four soil control samples to Nick Reiter for analysis. He received them on June 3, 2003. The fragments were photographed and appear black and shiny. He a checked them with A Geiger counter and found no radioactivity. Then he exposed them to long and short wave UV and visually did not observe any fluorescence. The fragments were not attracted to a magnet. He did EDS elemental analysis and generally found a predominance of Si, majors of Ca, Al, Mg, O, C and minors of Fe and Ti. These are typical soil elements and suggested to Nick that the fragments are vitrified soil. But puzzling is the fact that elemental composition ratio does not compare to the four reference soils from locations around the site. This might suggest that the ‘rocks’ did not originate from the site.
On July 8, 2003 this laboratory received one of the fragments, via Nick Reiter, for additional infrared analysis.
