Metallic space balls found on Australian beach
- Mysterious metal spheres washed ashore on a northern Australia beach, and officials say the unidentified floating objects are literal space balls — although there’s no known affiliation with the Mel Brooks comedy classic “Spaceballs.
- ”Several of the metallic objects were discovered on Forrest Beach, a small quiet coastal town in Queensland, the Australian Space Agency announced Sunday on X.
- The unknown objects were later identified as “space debris” by the ASA, most likely from a rocket that recently re-entered Earth’s atmosphere from orbit.
