Do we even know if it originated from earth?

Aqua, could there have been a person in the area near you and your wife, even though you couldn't see anyone else there? Lots of possibilities, such as the owner, a poacher, someone living in the woods (homeless), a kid with a strong arm.

Nah, this is on very restricted gummint land, and we were alone. The trees weren't such that anyone could climb them. Even bears would've had serious trouble.
Still, though, although ridiculously improbable, it's slightly more probable than the broken branch theory.

Not sure it's relevant, more in the nature of collecting information: Did you compare the stick to the tree trunk to see if it was the same as the wood of the tree? IOW, could you rule in or rule out whether the stick originated from the tree?

Tress plural. We were in a forest. Absolutely no way to tell which particular tree it came from but yeah, the stick was native to that forest.

Small version of a widowmaker?
That would explain the "random thing happening in the woods" angle but not the way it behaved.
I mean, it's just nuts. Nothing makes any sense.
Please love yourself.

Bounced and changed trajectories. A good sized limb can kill you. A small one can leave bruises.

This has gotten me intrigued as well. Let us know if you ever do discover what happened, k?

Yes. Stick with it.
Wood be the first to tell you if we were to embark on another fact-finding mission.

You have seen the Blair witch project, haven’t you?..
You will never walk in the woods again.

Hardwood trees shed. Limbs fall out of the all the time. A small limb breaking free near the top of a tall tree wouldn't be heard on the ground, and should it hit another limb on its way down just right, it could send the limb spinning at a 45 degree angle.
So my guess is that. There's aren't any monkeys where you live, big foot or zombies aren't real, always look toward the simplest, most realistic explanation to things....
Edit: besides... if a monkey was up in a walnut tree it would be to get walnuts, not limbs. So if a monkey did it you'd have been hit with a walnut.

Not a bad guess.
I still say Predators.
