Strange find in my backyard
Hi everyone! I have a pretty serious inquiry, maybe, possibly someone could help. So:
I live right under approach line of a major airport (30km south of WAW, planes fly here all day) and found this strange looking object. There is no road or even any construction site nearby so it pretty much has to be of plane origin.
It's a thin piece of a flexible metal (non magnetic, possibly aluminium, maybe tutanium or an alloy of some sort) covered in rubber from both sides, one side showing traces of thermal and mechanical wear, other looks rather clean.
If you got any clue what could it be or even where to look for better more expert advice please lmk.
Sorry for trouble and have a great day, thanks for reading through!
