All sorts of strange thoughts started to run through my mind. I even thought it might be something dangerous or not natural at all. This made me feel uneasy because I had no idea how something like this had ended up in my yard. There was nothing like it around, no trees like it, and its shape was very unusual.
When I found out what it was, I was literally speechless. 
I told the continuation in the first comment.
I decided to investigate and started looking for information. I compared photos, read descriptions, and with each step I took, I was more and more surprised. It turned out that this was not something dangerous or mysterious at all, but a Himalayan cedar cone.
At that moment, I just froze because I couldn't believe that such an unusual find could be lying right in my yard.
But the most interesting question remained — how did it end up there? There are certainly no such trees in our yard, and I have never seen anything like them in the area. The answer turned out to be quite surprising.
It was most likely brought by a bird. It's possible that somewhere far away it found this pinecone, carried it, and then accidentally dropped it right in my yard.
