About "that thing"? I don't even know what it would be. HELP.

[Oliver Bucaneiro]

And here I am again. Could someone tell me what the hell that is in the image? As soon as I woke up, a message appeared that had had a big bang during the night, and when I woke up I found the "miscreant" in the middle of my barn animals. (Outside the barn). If possible, I would like more information about such a thing.

If you want, I can take a printout of the item description in my inventory.

I suspect it is like a dark chicken. To quench my doubts, I will count the number of animals in my barn to see if there has been a problem with the number.

 

[Oliver Bucaneiro]

****, I just counted the barn animals, the good news is that the number of barn animals hasn't changed. However the number of chicken houses has changed, one of my rabbits has disappeared. I will continue to observe the development of the capsule and update my comments according to the passage of time.
R.I.P

Isn't that a "strange capsule"?

Isn't that a "strange capsule"?

The item's name is literally: strange capsule.
Would you like me to take a print for you?

 

[Tarkvunder]

It's from one of the possible nightly events on your farm. There's a write up about about it on the wiki.

 

[imnvs]

Okay, so since it is the strange capsule, it's a fun event and little more.

Spoiler: spoiler for strange capsule event

You can pick it up, but in a few days you'll see a change and be left with an empty capsule that does little else but take up space. There is a hidden Easter egg that results from it, though. You can read more on the wiki, if you wish, at: https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Random_Events#Strange_Capsule

NO WAY

That's one of the rarest possible events in the entire game!

Or it used to be. Apparently, it's much less rare now!

The wife just had it happen after I went to go to bed and she was still up playing for a bit after me.

According to CA, the previous odds were a bug:
