Mysterious metal ball from space falls in Namibia
A large metal ball that fell from space into the Namibian grasslands last month is not alien, officials say, but that's about all they know for certain about the object.
According to a report on The Namibian website, the 13-pound metal sphere with two bumps on its poles was found by a farmer near Onamatunga in the Omunsati region between November 15 and November 20. Explosions were heard in the area before the discovery, but no evidence of an explosion was seen around the area where the object was found.
Paul Ludik, director of the country's National Forensic Science Institute, told The Namibian the sphere, with a circumference of 3.6 feet, is made of a "sophisticated" metal alloy that is known to man, but he said it has no markings that would identify it. No international space agency has claimed ownership, he said.
“A number of tests have been performed on the object, and it appears to be hollow. We are still busy with a detailed examination of the object,” The Namibian quotes him as saying.
Ludik told The Namibian that the object poses no cause for alarm, and that such reports of metallic spheres falling from space are common in the Southern Hemisphere.
So should we expect a run on helmets at sporting goods stores south of the equator?

If it fell from space and is hollow, why is it not dented?
good question. i guess cuz its a basadd metal alloy. the known to man part is perhaps limited to CIA & like one other foreign govt :p
Good call but the Hydrazine Propellant Tank is 1.922 ft in diameter and the "ball" is 3.6ft. IDK what it is, but if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck than it must be terrestrial.
This is a helium tank from the Russian Salyut 7-Cosmos 1686 (Kosmos 1686) spacecraft assembly

Good call !
Looks like this mystery is no longer. Someone tell Brad at CNN.
Yeah, that's pretty dead on.
Max Hodges.....that was quick and spot on.
can it be x-rayed or given an MRI to see inside?
ok so if his eyes are on the sides of his head where are his ears ?
Doesn't say, made on Krypton, anywhere?
Made in China
Why do they think it "fell from space"? This seems to be simply a presumption, without any supporting evidence.
http://fernlea.tripod.com/tank.html <- if you look at the images, you can see small craters from micro-meteorite impacts during orbit.
It looks like two boobs were joined together...
Good call
mars attacks.......thats common sense
If it fell from space, why is it in good condition?
maybe the aliens are trying dump waste on our planet
maybe it is part of a space toilet
maybe aliens are trying to dump waste on our planet
This smells like another Myth Busters experiment gone wrong
