Electricians? Found a buried plastic bottle with liquid, attached to electrical wires.

Posted on 06/10/2015 6:02:04 PM PDT by Toespi

Very weird. We were doing some yard work this evening and hit something, as we dug further we found an old clear plastic bottle with liquid in it. We tried to dig it out and it wouldn't budge, as we went further we realized it was attached to two electrical wires in the ground.. Any idea what this could be?

Please do let us know!

My guess is it is a splice ‘protected’ by the bottle- or random junk.

My guess, too: a connection.

Is it liquid or plastic looking solid? I used an epoxy connector, for burial, that sounds similar.

Its a flux capacitor. Look to see if you can find a hidden Interossiter device buried somewhere. If so, either wire can be put in either input slot found on the back of the Interrositer. Be careful when you use it. But, you must plug both In. You will soon find the purpose of the Interrositer device. Have your bags packed.

Oh, No! I have family in Massillon, Ohio, do you think they are safe from the bottle/wires?

I had the pleasure of being a chemistry TA for Dr. Miller at UCSD. I asked him how long it took to get results from that configuration. He had tri-peptides in three days.

When I worked for Ma Bell I used to see this a lot. Someone would call in with noisy phone line, only to find out they either had a fence contractor or someone in the yard digging. I’d go out dig up their buried phone line only to find what you described, a contractor’s quick fix. If you can see in the bottle, colored wires which would be blue white and/or orange white its phone line. If it is phone line it is not high voltage it is only 48 volts. Call the phone company and have them dispatch out a maintenance splicer to re-encapsulate the splice.
