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?

"such reports of metallic spheres falling from space are common" Those are some clumsy aliens.
Ahigher number being commonly found around the beginning of the fourth month of the year ....
Ingredients of Happy Fun Ball include an unknown glowing substance which fell to Earth, presumably from outer space
Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball.
best comment ever
That is extraterrestrials signal to broadcast their presence in the universe to the earth beingsl!
I thought this was aliens voicing their displeasure that Kim and kris didn't make it?
god must be crazy is an excellent movie
The gods must be crazy...
God cannot be "crazy." He is perfect.

First coke bottles, now metal volleyballs. What next, giant robots? I agree, the gods must be crazy.
He is referencing the movie "the gods must be crazy". netflix it.
God made us in his own image......God is not crazy he is insane
god cannot be crazy. You have to exist to be crazy.
God is perfect! His existence and essence are identical.
Ay yi yi, didn't anybody else see the clear analogy to the movie from this new story? You mention toothpaste on an internet forum and it automatically becomes a debate about God. Either that, or that it's Bush's/Obama's fault.
Seamus...you are delusional.
Walter: this is what happens when you give idiots access to the world's store of knowledge.
I shall pray for you, Anita.
Don't pray for me you heathen fool.
Clearly a lunar croquet ball. Fun stuff.
somebody check if Chuck Norris is still OK.. will ya.
hahahahahaha
I am sure IT IS MADE IN CHINA...get it to chinese..and the problem solved
I'm 45 and I have never heard of 3 1/2 food spheres falling from space in my life, now I'm supposed to believe it happens all the time. When ever something that large falls from space it burns up or is what is left of a much bigger object (metal almost always melts and deforms) I doubt this fall from space.
Santa had his sliegh out for a tune-up ride.
Seriously? Common?
And don't they mean it fell from the SKY? How do they know it came from space? This thing is pretty big.
A storage tank from some anonymous derelict satellite?
Ah, mystery solved. It's an alien spy drone and they just contacted the Nambians and asked for it back.
Oh gee, look, it's a GYROSCOPE. Probably soviet.
Oh Great, now one of those Transformer Robots are goiung to be pizzed off and looking for a left testicle.
It's one of Darth Vader's spy drones.
It's a sure bet the Empire knows we're here.
its one of those flying evil orbs from phantasm
It's actually a huge alien mothership...from the planet Lillliput.
The microbe sized aliens are probably already conquering us.
