Out-of-place Artifact
The Wolfsegg Iron is claimed by some as an out-of-place artifact (OOPArt), and it is often stated as a fact in paranormal literature that it disappeared without trace in 1910, from the Salzburg Museum.

Other writers also erroneously describe it as "a perfectly machined steel cube".
