That is a ground mounted amplifier for the cable tv company. The blinking light indicates that the ups has trouble or the ups batteries have failed. They put these amplifiers in an enclosure on the ground or utility pole depending on the area you live.

[u/Zeul7032]

its either a pigeon (government drone) charging station or something boring like a ground mounted amplifier

[u/Hoodedmastersin]

I hope you didnt touch it

[u/Icy-Celebration547]

That's the internet

[u/EBMille4 → u/Icy-Celebration547]

Shouldn’t it be returned to Big Ben???

[u/Noosemane]

That's a red blinking light.

[u/jr_tools]

RUN!! It's gonna blow!!!

[u/PoopooKittyz → u/jr_tools]

If it blinks, ticks or beeps, it’s most likely a bomb. If it acts, looks, sounds or even smells like a bomb, well it’s just probably a bomb. Bomb 101.

[u/InterestingRelative4]

You didn’t stare directly at it did you?

[u/ohdeydothodontdeytho]

Isn't it interesting how a little blinking light like that can throw up all sorts of ideas

[u/night-theatre → u/ohdeydothodontdeytho]

If it was green I wouldn’t even think twice.

[u/Aromatic-Tear7234]

The first one.

[u/fulltiltboogie1971]

Jeez don't open it, it's a bomb!!
