strong pile of paper!)

One finds those odd black lumps in the desert with some regularity
(lot 37). I always assumed they were heavily weathered globs of tar
from telephone poles, baked into odd shapes by the sun. Typically not
quite as hard as rock when pressure is applied, chip conchoidally
revealing a glassy black texture. Low density. Higher concentration
closer to roads...
Nice piece of chalcedony (lot 34) being offered as a UFO token as
well. Won't say the stuff isn't cool or something like that, but with
a close examination, I don't know how may of these things are "U" or
"F." Definitely "O"s, though. How much is a pyrite nodule worth if
it's supposedly from a UFO (lot 35)? Does that count as some sort of
'provenance?'

What better place than Tucson to offer these "extraterrestrial" marvels?
UFOology is hot right now with over a dozen series devoted to the subject
on the cable TV channels. Viewers cannot get enough of it. UFO material
from the 50's and 60's is among the top performing items in the
collectables sector right now. A decade ago, it was dinosaurs.
It doesn't matter if you believe in it or not; Some of this material has
proven to be an excellent investment.
Take this sketch of a flying saucer being offered up on eBay for
instance:
RARE RAY HARRYHAUSEN EARTH VS THE FLYING SAUCERS UFO SKETCH SIGNED ART
AUTOGRAPH http://r.ebay.com/qwUlkI
A mere $21,000.0 and it could be yours. It looks like there have been 5
offers on it. I think the witness sketch in the Blood auction is way
more exciting and there is no minimum bid.
Then there is Lot 37 which attracted the attention of the scientific
community. It is made of 100% pure Enstatite aligned in sharp
microscopic shards which could not occur naturally. It even looks
oriented. It is informally referred to as the "Puckerite" for obvious
reasons. It doesn't get more alien looking than this!
You can cut and paste this link into a browser if you want to know more
about Enstatite

Do not forget there is a specimen labeled as the Tucson meteorite in this
collection of artifacts!
Tucson, with all of it wackiness and oddities, is the perfect place for
this kind offering.
