Mysterious metallic orbs washed up on a secluded beach in Australia, and experts say they likely fell from a spacecraft.
Locals called the police after discovering three large metal orbs on Friday. A total of six were eventually found, with local news outlet 7 News reporting that police warned the public that the items may contain hazardous chemicals. Emergency responders approached the orbs in hazmat suits, establishing a 164-foot safety perimeter around them before eventually declaring them “safe.”
Meanwhile, the Australian Space Agency confirmed to The Guardian that it’s helping to determine where the strange orbs may have come from. Experts say they could’ve been shed by a launching rocket or spacecraft.
“So the fact that there’s reportedly three tanks means it’s either a very large satellite or indeed the upper stage of a rocket Australian National University astrophysicist Brad Tucker told 7 News.
