Identity The Mystery Object Of Benbecula
WE are trying to identify a massive metal container that has been washed up on a beach in the Western Isles.
The BBC says “experts” are also investigating. But what are they experts in?
The “tank” is is 27m high and has no markings. It is thought to have fallen from a ship before being washed up on the west of Benbecula.
What is it? Your ideas please…

What is it? This is the large rocket that was paid by the English people to send NU Labour and all the other lousy British politicians far into outer space.They can drive each other crazy light years away from the earth. Good riddance to rubbish ! Life will go on without them.

Another Gerry inspired publicity stunt?

I think this is probably the only receptacle capable of holding Scotland’s aspirations to self Govern themselves without the constant hand outs from England.

If not a container for dangerous materials (hence no one claiming it yet) then a Chinese booster stage CZ-2E space vehicle?

I have hauled some thing like it before. It looks like a drum that is used in a factory for rolling paper or some other material.

DO NOT POST COMMENTS. GET OUTSIDE. GET A LIFE. YOUR OPINIONS ARE TRULY UNNECESSARY AND IRRELEVANT.

It’s an alien poo capsule. When it gets full on the mothership they drop them into space.
