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?

MORK from ORK has arrived for a second visit.
The older model were egg shaped, the new ships are round and have ears Mickey Mouse ears.
The ears are designed to tear away if problems occur.
Obviously something happened to force them off course since the landed in Namibia, not Colorado USA.
This is an alien invation indeed!! that ball is a biological bomb inside has small micro organisims that will take control of the human mind. and eat them from the inside. were all doommmmed! hmmm its possible!
I find this ball speaks to me. It is telling me that trolls have acquired a camera and are using it to troll UFO nuts again.
It is a equipment parts for finding out position. It rotated at high speed and keep original direction. I do not know the English name of that equipment but I know how it works.
A gyroscope you mean?
Maybe a gyroscope?
Looks more like the floating buld in the toilet that shuts off the water when the tank fills.
Or an artists' (metal sculpture) of a lemon?
But I like the idea of it being a space probe from another planet.
It belongs to the Kenyan Olympic shotput team.
Earth launches probes into space all the time. Do you really think that other planets science communities don't do the same thing?
It's a trap!
It's a net float used in the sea.
It's a tear from the ski in the memory of Kim Jong Il...
Looks to be part of a gyro system. There are two sets of track marks going nearly perpendicular to each other. With this configuration the ball could point in any direction.
Don't buy the fact it fell from space...not suffciently burn't enough from re-entry
It's a Trojan egg. As soon as no one's looking, a bunch of little aliens will break out and conquer the world. Run for the hills!
A metallic ball that size, and weighing only 13 lbs., would have to be hollow, which makes me wonder why it did not smash, or at least dent, upon impact. Can any of you people spell "hoax"?

Jezus, przecież to od Heńka z ciężarówki spadło!
I cut one open that was found in the Karoo about thirty years ago If the link works, I put up two pictures in my photobucket album http://photobucket.com/albums/rr112/gemhund/?action=view¤t=DSCN2580.jpg
I looked at your pictures, it looks similar to the one displayed in this article.
How did you happen to come across it? Interesting.
This looks like one of Megatrons turds....
