The Strange Incident in the Woods

Strange. Good thing that either of you were not seriously injured.
However, I think is very possible it was just a branch that fell. It could have already been broken off and just resting on another branch. A slight breeze, or some small movement on the branch released it and it fell. I suppose if it was at the right angle, it could have started spinning.

Branches don't fall at 45 degrees. And they sure as hell do not move that fast. Nor do they move that way. Like I said, it was like being thrown out of a lawnmower if you've ever seen that. Also, nothing else fell, no noise.

Interesting. When we develop the rewind technology by gathering light emitted by earth over history, we should add this to the list of mysteries to be solved. I hope the tree branches didn’t obscure the perpetrator.

What are the odds someone far away threw it? Gravity will make it seem like it came from the trees.

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.

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?

Do we even know if it originated from earth?

Because if anybody could piss off an alien from five light years away, it'd be Aqua.

Aqua prefers the pronouns he/him

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.

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.

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.

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?
