    Approximate size? It kind of looks like it might be the casing to a light explosive that you set off like a match stick. We call them ‘strijkers’ in the Netherlands. Only difference is the bigger underside there.

      Roughly 6 inches or 15 cm. I thought it was an unexploded firework from a distance but it looks like it’s made of steel and plastic. For context, it was (and still is afaik) laying on the edge of the parking lot of a dog park near a small airport.

        I can’t really see it being anything other than a casing of some sort. Considering the shape, size and materials it would have to be something pressurised, maybe a gas. This is not typically what nitrous tanks look like (the ones people are doing in traffic for a laugh oh my god what has happened to this world). I’ve seen some applications of drugs but this does not look like any of them. So as far as I can tell it’s either going to be something to do with construction or it’s something very specific to either dogs or aviation.

        Edit: considering the car park, could it be like a shell one would put on the longer end of a spark plug? They usually come in boxes without cases or shells but maybe a very particular one has this as a protective cover and someone has been fiddling with their vehicle there?
