A mysterious “metal starfish” discovered in Rhode Island is leaving experts and residents alike baffled. Several people even said it could be some sort of alien equipment.
The heavy metal object found 1o feet from the shoreline at low tide in East Beach was lodged underwater and consisted of a circular metal ring and 8 stainless steel legs capped with concrete. One thing is certain, the object appears to stay in position like glue, despite the force of ocean waves, The Westerly Sun reported.
Peter Brockmann president of the East Beach Association, responsible for the care of the beach told WPRI he thought the item was alive.
“It looks like a metal starfish because it has these eight legs that go down from the center.”
