Not What it Seemed

On reaching really close to it, Nievas got convinced that it was something other than a round stone. In fact, it was something completely opposite to what he had been thinking. Since the object was covered with mud completely, Nievas was not able to reach a conclusion whether to go close to the object or not. Being a brave man, he decided to move towards it and find out about it. It was not long after that the farmer started to clear the mud from the round surface of the object and while doing it a range of ideas on what he could witness popped up in his mind. He discarded the previously held thought of it being around stone after witnessing the object to be covered with eerie textured scales along with strange green hues scattered in some areas of it. To be honest, there was no chance that the farmer from Argentina would have guessed the real identity of the round object. Yes, the object was something far beyond his imagination!!

A Giant Dinosaur Egg?

“My husband went out to the car and when he came back he said, ‘Hey, I just found an egg that looks like it came from a dinosaur,” she stated. “We all laughed because we thought it was a joke.” Who knew that the words that Nieves uttered were strangely going to be true and were certainly not a joke. The image you see is the exact view that Reina had once she accompanied her husband but like her don’t confuse it for a giant egg which looks similar to something used as a prop in the movie Jurassic Park. The couple was totally confused as they were not able to find out the real truth behind it. But, it was not long that they all their doubts were going to vanish completely.

Bigger Than The Two Of Them

Nieves started to work on the task for which he had originally called his family which was of dislodging the object from the mud and out of the cavity that you can clearly see in the image without harming it even the slightest bit. Unfortunately, Nieves failed in his attempt this time along with his family because the actual size of the object was much bigger than they had expected not to forget its enormous weight. So, the next step the couple took was to call the police for help with the hope that they could remove it from the muddy water and reveal its true identity. But, what happened after the arrival of the police was something that the family had not expected in their wildest dreams!
