What the heck is this? or Isn't this how those alien movies start?

I was outside taking pictures of flowers or where I hope to have flowers when I noticed this on the oak tree in my front yard. I have no idea what it is and I hope it didn't infect me with noxious spores or fire a small alien-life-bearing dart into my skin while I took this picture.

Did you ever find an answer to the oak tree puzzle? I just found the same thing on a small oak down by our pond!!

I seen these on an oak tree just today. I have been searching the internet looking to find out what they are and stumbled across your page. As much as I can figure out so far is that they are female oak tree flowers. I hadn't even realized oaks had flowers! If you get any more information on what they are I would love to know. I thought they were rather pretty.
