Do you know what it is?

Every day we find various interesting things around us. Sometimes it is even hard to guess what is it. Usually, you just pass by most of them, but some of them attract more attention.

If you do have any unidentified things or photographs of them on your own, then you should first examine them side by side and check if there are any numbers, factory stamps, maybe words/letters on them. You can easily search them directly on the internet and find multiple photographs of objects with the same identifiers.

If this does not help, then search for a detailed description including the material, size, shape and other distinctive features. For example, a small (15 cm in diameter) round, white porcelain object would be a great description for a plate.

If even this method does not help, there are special search communities on the Internet that loves such puzzles and even collect a database of unusual things. For example, there is a community called "What is this thing" in Reddit. People post real pictures of enigmatic objects and ask other users, whenever possible, to try to explain "what" and "why"

In today's selection, we have collected 7 unusual mysterious objects that could only be recognized with the help of the Internet and the voice of the crowd.
