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?

me thinks Hitler and Robbie the Robot might have something in common!
Looks like some type of fruit and someone is pulling our legs...........
The gods must be crazy!
Damn it, I came here to say that!
I don't believe this was ever up in space. It appears to be some kind of launch support containment tank. Something like this would have definitely burned up on re-entry, especially not being made of or covered with any heat dissipation ceramics. The space quality of those would have still been there. Most metals will totally burn or be significantly damaged.
I'm guessing it could be part of a gyro on a satellite and survived reentry due to its shape
It is a fishing net buoy!! Mystery solved.
It's sputnik ! Finally ran out of momentum.
Awesome
Wait till it hatches.
Haha! My sentiment exactly.
Lets say it did come from space.. If no one is claiming it then it must be owned by some type of ET somewhere in a galaxy far, far away.. seriously tho.. They don't know what type of metal it is but it is known to man.. ???? its interesting for sure.
Aliens have been fishing for people for centuries. Looks like one got away.
Wow space balls!!!!!
Similar object had been found near Thai – Cambodia border recently. Could have been from a defunct satellite.
E.T. needs to phone home.
YES WE SHOULD
