Mystery black objects that fell from the sky have left locals bewildered in Thailand.

A couple discovered the puzzling items they believed were from outer space crashing into their garden in Phatthalung near the border with Malaysia.

Husband Wichet Siriphuwadon said he and his wife Maneerat believe the rocks have improved their health.

They said they found the unknown shiny black rocks of varying sizes, weighing over 44lbs (20kg) in their palm plantation

Wichet said: 'There was very heavy rain and lightning around 2am on that day, causing a fire outside.

'In the morning, there was fallen tree and burn marks on the ground. I walked over to the burning pit and there was smoke, so I covered it with soil.'

Two weeks later, the couple checked the pit again and found the objects. They took them home, hoping for an analysis by officials.

Maneerat shared that when she collected the rocks, they were sharp, and one even caused her to bleed. Despite feeling pain and heat at the time, she said the discomfort stopped once the bleeding ceased.

After keeping the rocks at home for about a month, she claimed to feel more energetic and reported an improvement in her mental health.

She is now asking authorities to examine the objects further.

Their neighbours said they have spotted unusual patterns on the rocks and are interpreting them as lucky numbers, with some already planning to use them for lottery tickets.
