What are these magnetic LEGO-like bricks???

[ravajack]

I recently found these LEGO-like but very strange bricks at a local flea market.

I've hunted the Net high and low to find out what they are (origin, age, maker, brand, etc), but to no avail.

Maybe someone of the brick experts and afficionados around here can help out in the matter.

These bricks are slightly larger than regular LEGO bricks (same height, but about one millimeter longer and wider).

So far I've only found three colours, red, white and blue, and two types/sizes: Eight "dots" and four "dots".

The coloured base brick is made of plastic, with a magnetic metal "squares embossment" on top and tiny magnets in the bottom.

The bricks attach easily to each other, weak but firm, and contructions can be lifted and handled without problems.

Please see picture below for more details. (Two regular LEGO bricks in front for comparison).

Space Legos. Ill-fated alien technology that was involved in the Challenger explosion. All very hush hush.

Got nothing, strange little pieces. They look pretty old! Maybe from an older clone company that went out of business?
