I once handled a manufactured object (metal with enamel surface) that was embedded in basalt. The basalt had been broken open and showed the object (about 6 inches by 2 inches tubular with indented rings a bit like the geometry of a Mercedes tail light). The object inside the basalt was broken before it was put into the basalt.
The enamel had partially adhered to the basalt leaving patches showing of the dark metal.
Now this may have been a fake. Humans can produce metals and enamels that melt at a higher temperature than basalt. An analysis of the metal would have been interesting. (For example that pure iron pillar in India that does not rust seems not to be local technology).
A first sight the object could have been from a much more advanced technology.
The woman who showed me said it was sacred.
But to me it looked like a component from an atmospheric recycling system for a closed dwelling or vehicle.
So while that artifact may well have been alien, it might just as well have been Atlantean. And in the absence of metallurgical analysis I am unable to say if it was a modern fake.
Cheers

Sounds to me like some scrapped electrical component. The problem is that one can see what one wants to see and interpret an object according to one's own light.
As an example the "Cargo Cult" in the Pacific Islands. The natives saw the ships of the western colonisers bringing goods - "Cargo" . No money seemed to change hands, they simply sent a radio signal and these goods appeared from the ship some time later. Not understandng the ramification of international trade and commerce they linked the two as best they could and Cross style "Radio Masts" (not actually connected to any radio transmitter) were erected to call on Cargo to be sent to the Islanders.
