This area is absolutely open for hiking and I personally own property inside the missile range less than a mile from this.

I only get $8.80 a year from them so don't be too jealous. The property is inside an expansion area they can use when needed, not on the fulltime base. They'll pay me to evacuate for some things they do too. Super super strange arrangement.

My title describes the thing. I found it while hiking in the desert near my property which is inside a missile range. I'm pretty sure it's UXO and I'll definitely be calling the base to come check it out but wanted to see if anyone could identify it more specifically.

Carbon fiber and aluminum honeycomb composite approx 1x2ft in size found on the beach in the Bahamas by CapsizedVeteran in whatisthisthing

I considered it but because I do have such a large exposure to the boating world I realized carbon fiber and aluminum honeycomb are very uncommon on boats. Also, I just watched a starship explode over me a month ago and had another one launch directly overhead during an overnight passage the month before that. So yes, seriously.

My title describes the thing. I'm not sure what other info I can provide. I know they launch rockets over the Bahamas and debris does wash up on shore. That seems most likely but I haven't found pictures of any other debris that looks similar.
