I suspect it's viral marketing for Bray's Point Resort.  It's a good ploy, but it would be better if they generated more than one fake press release though.

Seems like an expensive "viral marketing" campaign...  I mean, BIG boxes with no seams?  Humming?  And in three states?  Really?

And some like them in Sri Lanka?  I'm guessing something much more exciting than a marketing ploy.

well this comes under the believe it don't category for me
here's the explaination that is being floated... :)

http://www.huliq.com/10282/ufo-sighting-beliefs-counter-todays-science-while-new-metal-box-theory-floated

By Dave Masko on 2012-02-18
 BRAYS POINT, Ore. – Marine scientists have looked under the hood of mysterious metal boxes -- that started appearing along West Coast beaches two weeks ago – and now have a scientific theory.


pieces from the article

According to William Hanshumaker, a Ph.D. public marine education specialist at the Hatfield Marine Science Center in nearby Newport, the theory now – after investigating these strange metal boxes for the past two weeks – is “the boxes on the beach are merely floats that were originally built to support docks.”

............................

In turn, there have been reports from locals and visitors -- to these Oregon and other West Coast beaches over the past two weeks -- pointing to "various types of boxes” that are are both metal and also look “box shape” that are possibly dock floats from Japan’s earthquake last March.

..................................

Local artist Leo D’Alessandro is planning for the “42nd Annual Original Yachats Arts & Crafts Fair” in a big way. “Since the Mayan prophecy for this year of 2012 is expected to bring the dawn of a new era – a year of transformation for our planet – what better way for me to share my visions of the Mayans than with the metal box I salvaged from our beach.”

..................................

Yachats is a sort of post-Sixties enclave for retired “hippies” and other New Age types, as well as a popular location for vacationers who seem to agree with its recent selection as one of Arthur Frommer’s top 10 list of “favorite spots in all the world.”

Take a short drive south of Yachats, and there’s the popular UFO sighting area at Bray’s Point. Then drive north of Yachats, and you’re at Stonefield Beach where local UFO sighting fans first mentioned seeing “strange metal boxes” Feb. 5 that “seemed to appear the next morning right in the surf.”

In turn, the mystery of what happened to the metal boxes over the past week still lingers as locals report seeing “people in white trucks” collecting the boxes and taking them off the beaches. For instance, D’Allessandro said “it’s a real find. I can’t open it. The box is sealed all around, and there’s a bright and crystal film over it.” At the same time, D’Allessandro said “I don’t want to say much now until the art show.”

.....................................

Artist Andrea on what’s a hoax?
Andrea explains that “we live in a world of computers and nobody yet has properly explained to me how the heck you get 3,000 songs on something the size of the palm of my hand. What occurred to get us to this wee small technology? Nobody can really explain how we have something that generates so much power to run ships, airplanes and our computers that can only be seen with a microscope. Is that a hoax? If we can’t explain something is it a hoax. And, just because I can’t put the answers into a neat little ‘box,’ than is the box that D’Alessandro now has a hoax?”

.......................................

Boxes slowly disappearing from the beaches

Go figure someone hauling away “floating docks?”

........................................................

I started a thread - couldn't find this one - where I wondered if there was any VIDEO of these boxes (You would think so, right?) and in My search came up empty-handed.  All I found is...  Well here's the link to My thread:

Like I said, viral marketing...a photoshopped picture and a planted press release are cheap to produce.

The second Masko story referenced William Hanshumaker, Ph.D., who is a Senior Instructor at the Hatfield Marine Science Center in Newport, Oregon. On Friday morning, February 10, 2012, I talked with Prof. Hanshumaker about the Masko article. Prof. Hanshumaker said he did not know anything about the metal boxes until Masko called his office around 5 PM on Thursday, February 9, 2012. Prof. Hanshumaker said he would make no comment until he saw the metal boxes for himself.

Today, February 14, 2012, Prof. Hanshumaker phoned me to say that assistants he asked to search this past weekend for the alleged metal boxes could find nothing. Further, half a dozen State Police, Coast Guard and police offices I contacted that have jurisdictions along the Oregon beaches do not have any report about metal boxes washed up on Oregon beaches to date. KVAL CBS 13 in Eugene, Oregon, east of the beaches, has never had a report of such metal boxes either. I also contacted the NOAA Marine Debris Program and talked with the West Coast Regional Coordinator, Nir Barnea, who is unaware of any metal box debris.

Right on, Rose, and this sounded like a ploy from the start, as I found my eyes saying this is a Onion News Network story  www.theonion.com
Ive installed the same boxes in docks, and actually repaired some, too. Usually they are two feet tall, though, so?
As far as the sounds, it's just the resonance of the sea playing off of the boxe's hollow shell.
Or hermit crabs doin it in there!

I agree.  The "boxes" are a hoax.  I wonder about the claims of similar boxes around Sri Lanka...  Were they hoax too?  Did they exist or was that part of this hoax?

I'll do some more hunting.

EDIT to add:  From what I can see...  The ONLY mention of metal boxes in Sri Lanka is the same hoax information posted over and over and over and over...  Nothing to substantiate the claim that "Meanwhile, the British government also photographed similar huge metal boxes on beaches in Sri Lanka in the late 1990's..."
