Could be some sort of Anonymous nucifer.

A "flying saucer", eh?

Rinkytink should know what it is, he's a real nutcase!!!

I was wondering if anyone knew the name of a certain kind of nut. Its
tree grows in tropical areas, and can be about 60 ft high and about as
wide (including branches) as it is tall. It has big leaves that have
rounded ends. The nut with its shell is about 3-4 in. long and about 1.5
in. thick, and usually has green or red skin on the outside. It is
shaped like a lemon if you look at it in one way and like a flying
saucer if you turn it around a little bit, and has a ridge around it.
The actual nut, which is edible (and very good-tasting), looks like an
almond, but is about twice as long.

I feel I should enter the lists in defence of this poster; after all it WAS
a fair question. Instead of invective, jibes and jeers perhaps the correct
answer might settle the matter and ameliorate the general mood. Yours most
sincerely.
