It is a mysterious ball that looks like a prop from a science fiction film - and nobody can explain where it came from.
Police have been left baffled after a strange metal sphere fell to the ground in a remote area of northern Namibia, Africa.
It weighs around 13lbs, has a diameter of 14 inches and its rough surface looks like ‘two halves welded together’, said police forensics director Paul Ludik.
When the craft came down it caused a crater 12 inches deep and 13ft wide, although the ball itself was some 60ft away.
Locals claimed to have heard several explosions in the days before it was discovered by a farmer on his land.

Never poke anything from outer space with a stick. You waited long enough to give us that bit of wisdom... Uh... what do we do if it's already been stick-poked? No, seriously... ;)

“titanium pressure spheres” seem to be common debris looking over your list. That is probably what this is.

If you meant to say “spaced-out trash”, then maybe it would be one of Sean Penn’s balls.

Yes, funny funny movie. We watched it when our kids were young and was about the funniest thing we have ever seen.

It’s been reported that spheres similar to this one have fallen from the sky during the last twenty years in South Africa, Central America and Australia.
