The Coso Artefact, an intriguing archaeological discovery found in the 1960s in the Coso Mountains of California, has sparked intense debates and speculations about its origin and age. This so-called OOPArt (out-of-place-artefact) appeared to be a spark plug encased in solid rock and was estimated to be over 500,000 years old. The object was discovered during mineral prospecting by Wallace Lane, Virginia Maxey, and Mike Mikesell. Inside the rock, they found a spark plug composed of ceramic and metal components, suggesting it had been used before becoming embedded in the rock.
The discovery gained widespread attention in the paranormal community and led to various theories, including the possibility that it belonged to an advanced ancient civilization or was evidence of time travel. Some even questioned the traditional understanding of rock fossilization and Earth’s chronology. Creationist Ron Calais conducted research on the artefact, using X-rays to reveal additional details.
