Any suggestions on what this is?

I figure it's a photoshop composition so the 'craft' must be an odd piece of terrestrial hardware. But what--a sprinkler, antenna, kitchen tool . . .?

... or perhaps a Taiwanese marital aid.

Wants to know what it is but won't say his location or how to contact him. Takes all kinds...

Yeah being vague on things that could bolster the story isn't a good sign. And the picture doesn't seem very 'Roswellian'.
I think it must be some obscure piece of hardware or a part of something that with the right photo software and a good story may seem to be extraterrestrial. I thought someone might recognize it.

Scary though - - despite the high granola factor here (an abundance of fruits, nuts & flakes), 'out there' it's even worse ; )

Well, I hope Chad comes clean. I'd like to know what the thing is.

It looks like the business end of a "long-reach" light bulb extractor (a long pole with a "flexable" wire "cage" on the end to grab the bulb). Of course other items (radio controlled helicopter blades?), etc have been "attached" or pasted in. Photoshop (among other programs) are easily equipped for this task as I'm sure you're all aware. ;>)

Yeah, light bulb thingy or egg grabber were on my list of possible suspects, but if it's a hybridized chimera composite, that defies ready identification - a shocking fraud(!)
At least --Chad has a hobby
(Granola can be found in many places, present company excepted, of course)

I think you're right Jennifer and the proof lives next door.
I'll ask if she knows Chad next time I'm forced to speak to her.

If this thing has been cooperative enough for Chad to go fetch a photographer, how about a video?
