Miller–Urey experiment
Post a picture.
Post a picture please.
Dry Box?
Grounding point for tin foil hats.
Got any photos?
The liquid is probably rain/groundwater/condensation that found its way into whatever the container is. I can’t think of any reasons why you would purposely attach a container of liquid to an electrical system underground.
Cut the blue wire!
Repeat
Cut the blue wire!
No WAIT!
For nightcrawlers?
That was buried there 50 years ago with the remark, “Boy, wait till they dig this up. They’ll go crazy trying to figure out what it is.”
follow the wires and that should tell ya.....
bottle was a crappy attempt at a water proof splice ,indicative of the strange liquid inside AKA H2o
Was one wire isolated and run to a metal object? If so it might have been the equivalent of a zink or amp bag. they use them to help prevent corrosion. In an amp bag design it would product a small electrical current that would help prevent corrosion and the jug would contain some sort of acid (may be mild) and would not last for years. But one wire would have been for ground and most likely none isolated and/or run to a grounding pole, the other would have to be isolated up to the item it would have been connected to.
Do the wires go in the same direction or opposite?
Try running power to it and see what happens
Early fusion experiment by Les Flerntner. See if his name shows up in your chain of title on your house.
You’re not in Iraq, are you?
Sounds like someone ran wire to an outbuilding or a remote spot and then needed a way to remember/protect where the splice would be. Does the liquid look like it was sealed in the bottle or is it seepage?
Just don’t be standing near the bottle, when you plug the wires in.
You know that War Of The Worlds movie with Tom Cruise where the Martians were already here and buried underground?
Well, this isn’t that.
Early version Thelmannn wire.
Just don’t tell the EPA you dug it up.
It’s called a Flux Fluid Injector. Used primarily to mediate any extra inductive resistance
When used in starting hybrid hyper drives on low frequency thermocouplers.
Do NOT let any fluid leak. Bad, Very Very Bad.
