It also had an inscription with a serial number.
The cylinder was covered in strange black fibres that looked like hair.
The furry object plunged from the sky in Puerto Tirol in northern Argentina at around 6.30pm last Thursday (25 Sept), as reported by What’s The Jam.
The 47-year-old landowner informed the authorities and allowed the local police and fire brigade to inspect the cylinder.
Bomb experts also arrived on the scene to ensure it wasn’t explosive.

They confirmed the object did not contain any combustible or hazardous materials.
However, officials still remain stumped as to what it could be.
As a result, they set up a 100-foot security perimeter around the furry object while they continue to investigate its origin.
