It's not atomic so it didn't enter my mind. The parts look like many other clocks only bigger so I expected to have a "watch gal/guy" or "clock gal/guy" "chime" right in.
Dad, did you "cheat?"
No, I just saw a lot of moving parts and thought "clock". I said Atomic kind of tongue in cheek, because "they" already exist in name anyways. I never looked up anything, as cletus did.

Utilities and railroad personnel have checked this out and come up with nothing. Any ideas?

So am I right to assume it goes away before anyone can tack it down and see where it comes from? Could be someones heat pump.

Found in the shed. Plastic, about 3' long but it may have been longer at one time. It may be upside down.

It could be part of anything, maybe a toy. It looks like angle iron and even if plastic it could have been a part of something.
The cutouts (design) could be simply to save on the plastic or to reduce weight.

It's shaped like angle iron, but plastic. I thought it was to hang something, but it's probably packaging. Maybe for the t-posts?

My guess: It's used as a edge when setting bricks or pavers (as in a walkway). This stuff is set as a "straight edge" and dirt, gravel, or whatever packed on one side while the brick supports the other side.
But...it looks like part of this is missing. I should have a right angle at "the bottom" allowing it to be set in the ground with long rods or spikes.
Works like a charm!

By George I think you may have something here! This place has more bricks and pavers than anyplace I've ever seen. Not a speck of regular old cement anywhere except the garage and under the shed. (Cracks and all Cuz)
