This story has been all over reddit for a couple of days.  A guy named James found a cylinder with strange etchings.  He tried to drill into it with a hand drill.  A blue orb formed in the room.  Guy was found dead.

Should be an easy one to debunk with Arfcom’s resources.

The object looks sorta like one of those magnets they make cows swallow to pull metal out of their guts.

But it's way too big for that.

Maybe something oil field / drilling related. The etchings look like they are English alphabet characters.

Being Reddit, it was probably his mom with a flashlight wondering why he didn't come up to get the hot-pocket.

It looks man made to me. The etched star of david is the most recognizable symbol.

Seems rather fake.  Did he even get penetration into the tube?  Didn’t seem like it.  
And the ‘orb’ seems to be nearly the exact color of his light that is shining reflecting off the tube.

If he has a radiography source, yeah he's probably a goner.

He probably let out  the magic smoke. These fake videos are overtaking the interweb and if anything real is ever discovered it will be lost in the mix or be years before it is ever reported on  by a legitimate source.

This reminds me of the sphere that a farmer supposed found in a field in Brazil or someplace. It was supposedly inscribed with etchings and head 7 layers when scanned. TO me it looked like a metal lamp based you could find at World Market.
