The sounds from these boxes makes it a real mystery and very scary .. There are not seams or openings in them. I know it could be something washed ashore by a cargo ship, but the description of them is a very strange one. They say they may be as far south as California .. Steve.. if you come across any new information on this would you let us know? I hate mysteries with no ending or follow up.

Well around here those boxes would last less than half an hour before some agency wearing bullet proof vests comes pouring in and blows them up. That happened with a box of kittens in our neck of the woods. Seriously..bomb squads and military MIB would already be there collecting if true.

Jo Yes, that is what I told my husband Some one in government will take them in a minute, then there will be no more talk of them whether some kind of hoax or not. Makes one wonder..

I Googled boxes on beach and only came up with oddball/outside the box sites. I would think that a local newpaper would at least mention metal boxes on beach.

I can't find anything on this story except for the original article and a bunch of people talking about it. Somebody else should have said something somewhere. Sounds like it might be a hoax.

Masko added a follow-up article on the 8th: HULIQ
UFO sightings reveal more strange metal boxes along coastal beachesBy Dave Masko on 2012-02-08 BRAY’S POINT, Ore. – They can’t be moved; even when yanked by a four-wheel drive truck pulling on heavy chains tied around these humming metal boxes that are still appearing as of Feb. 8 up and down West Coast beaches.As of late afternoon Feb. 8, Bill Hanshumaker, a public marine specialist and (Ph.D) doctor of marine science at the Hatfield Marine Science Center in nearby Newport, told Huliq in an interview that, “I don’t know what they are.” In turn, Doctor Hanshumaker said he’s advised “surf monitoring” about these strange metal boxes that suddenly appeared along local beaches Feb. 6, and now seem to be multiplying like Star Trek “Tribbles.” The photograph that accompanies this report – taken during the afternoon of Feb. 8 near Bray’s Point -- of yet another strange metal box stuck in the surf up is one of a possible group of a dozen or more that have been sited up and down West Coast beaches. Meanwhile, the British government also photographed similar huge metal boxes on beaches in Sri Lanka in the late 1990’s and in early 2004 and 2005. The discovery of the boxes is detailed in updated previously classified reports from the British government that document sightings of unidentified flying objects by both the military and the general public dating back to the 1950s.

One resource states . Surf Monitoriing. .. They have to make some reason for these and it maybe like changing the Roswell case on and off for years ahead.
I think they got our best resources looking in to it. I have no idea how or if they want to move them. There could be a reason to fear them. I know I would not want the job..

I bet I could figure out a way to move them. If one of those suckers shows up in Texas it's mine!

I think they are "ours" and I think they were out in the deeper water, unposted, which means a swimmer or surfer could have really been hurt hitting one in rough surf. As for how something that can't be moved would hurl itself up on the beach - I donno.

Don't know whether this is related or not; but pretty soon, there'll be so much junk washing up it won't matter..... 25 million tons of tsunami debris floating toward US shoresWritten By Jeremy A. Kaplan Published February 15, 2012 Wrecked cars, portions of homes, boats, furniture and more -- all swept up by the destructive, magnitude 9.0 earthquake that struck off the coast of Japan 11 months ago -- are on a slow-motion collision course with California. But no one's tracking the debris, Jim Churnside, a physicist with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Agency's (NOAA) Marine Debris Program, told FoxNews.com. The wreckage from the March 11, 2011, disaster could include virtually anything that floats, according to oceanographer and beachcomber Curtis Ebbesmeyer -- and that includes portions of houses, boats, ships, furniture, cars and even human remains. Independent models constructed by the NOAA and the University of Hawaii show a vast, loose debris field drifting inexorably toward Hawaii, California and Washington -- the first fishing buoys reached the West Coast in mid December, Ebbesmeyer wrote in his "Beachcombers Alert" newsletter. The flotsam is expected to increase, with the bulk of the debris hitting some time in 2014. "I would not be surprised to see some fishing vessels by April, and the main mass of debris start arriving a year from this March," Ebbesmeyer told FoxNews.com. Beyond that, it's hard to say exactly how big the debris is -- or even where the majority of it is. Floating debris travels at about 7 mph, Ebbesmeyer said, but it can move as much as 20 mph if it has a large area exposed to the wind, according to a report in the Associated Press. That said, Churnside expects models of the debris path from last summer are probably accurate. Churnside plans to revisit his models of the enormous debris field next month, one year after the devasting event.

I just found an article on Linda Moulton Howe's website, Earthfiles.www.earthfiles.com/In it she states: "On Friday morning, February 10, 2012, I talked with Prof. Hanshumaker about the Masko article. Prof. Hanshumaker said he did not know anything about the metal boxes until Masko called his office around 5 PM on Thursday, February 9, 2012. Prof. Hanshumaker said he would make no comment until he saw the metal boxes for himself." She also went on to say: "Today, February 14, 2012, Prof. Bill Hanshumaker phoned me to say that assistants he asked to search this past weekend for the alleged metal boxes could find nothing. Further, half a dozen State Police, Coast Guard and police offices I contacted that have jurisdictions along the Oregon beaches do not have any report about metal boxes washed up on beaches to date. KVAL CBS 13 in Eugene, Oregon, east of the beaches, has never had a report of such metal boxes either." Ha! I knew it was a hoax. Stupid hoaxers.

Sigh...one final entry for this thread: Strange boxes spark UFO rumorsPosted: Wednesday, Feb 22nd, 2012 BY: Terry Dillman A fiberglass-covered wood-framed dock float rests on the beach near Florence. It's one of many that showed up on south coast beaches within the past two weeks, and became the focus of a series of online articles by Dave Masko, a Florence-based freelance writer. Masko described them as immovable metal boxes and linked them to a reported UFO sighting at Bray's Point and Stonefield Beach a couple of miles south of Cape Perpetua. Marine debris experts have since identified them as a pier float that likely broke loose and washed out to sea during the January storm. (Courtesy photo by Bob Sneddon/KCST Coast Radio News) The previously unexplained appearance of "dozens" of "unmovable metal boxes" on beaches along the Oregon coast, including Bray's Point south of Waldport and Stonefield Beach South of Yachats had the Internet buzzing with rumors of government black helicopters and UFO sightings. The reality turned out to be a bit more mundane. After a careful study that included photos and up-close examinations of the mystery boxes, marine science experts and others have determined that they are - drum roll, please - wood-framed, fiberglass-covered dock floats. www.southlincolncountynews.com/v2_news_articles.php?heading=0&story_id=2942&page=72

How in the deuce can it go from 'immovable' to fiberglass and wood?? I know there are a unique sector of idiots that report this stuff but this is nuts in the extreme

It's getting blown way out of proportion because the person who wrote the story is exaggerating the details to make it sound like they are "immovable" and have weird "wailing noises" coming from inside. One person misrepresented the facts and now the silly rumor is spread all over the internet. I think that Masko dude just lost any credibility that he ever had.
