I dunno about any of that, but what I did see was a Giant's club slowly flying into the air, and it reminded me so much of that scene from the beginning of '2001 A Space Odyssey' where the ape-man throws the bone into the air, and it transitions into a satellite... so full of 'win'.
I've seen this!
It was the giant you see the companions kill when you first arrive at Whiterun.
After about 3 days I was riding by and his club was already about 100 feet in the air and slowly rising.
In a world full of magic, weirder things can happen... but it was still cool.
