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?

Mythbusters at it again!
If it's hollow then it was made from water not space. Some type of boey maybe. They don't tend to take useless objects into space because of the cost per pound and from what I hear it was sealed up so it isn't a tank – someone must know what it is. It's not a pig used to clean pipelines because those are more complicated than this look them up.
I mean made for use in water
Boey? Really? No wonder America is failing.
america is failing because this guy can't spell buoy?
It's from SATAN I tell you!!!
Repent NOW!!
SATAN!!! Do you understand what I am SATAN?
Isn't this how Sci-Fi horror movies start? Reference THE THING.
Somebody has balls somewhere in the universe
Come, come my child, we need people with balls...
Get real people. This object has real mystery written all over it. (by not) There is no reasonalble explanation if you are thinking it is a part of a space probe from earth. Its heavy and its empty. Everything that has been sent up to date is full of electronics, markings, devices, sensors, you name it. This is just an empty metal ball. I would suggest thinking again about its origin. Its alien. Its some of their junk. Think about it. What use is an empy and heavy ball to a space probe from earth. Each pound costs hundreds of thousands of dollars to put in orbit. If this was an oxygen tank why doesn't it have any inlets or outlets? If it was an electrical device where are the wires or sockets? If its a gyroscopic device where are the innards. It has to be calibrating something. What do you think?
I think it came from that spaceship cloaked near Mercury.
The ball might be the inside part of a larger device – maybe is rotates within a mechanism. I is not alien because if they let their junk fall to earth and pollute our planet the won't be able to rub our noses in how barbaric we are for polluting it ourselves – you know how they like to act all superior.
It was launched from a giant catapult from Area 51
The device may have contraptions within that may access portals to hell. Some of these devices have powers to open doorways from normal walls, allowing access to demonic realms. Merry Christmas.
From SATAN perhaps?
Its a 104 Liter Hydrazine Propellant Tank.
Yes that is exactly what it is.
Of course now that story is boring and I've lost interest in it. Thanks smartiepants.
The Gods Must Be Crazy Part II
no no Paul. You mean the Gods Must be crazy part 3 ! There is already a second one. 🙂
maybe it's space coke... You know what the street value of that street coke bottle must be... I mean come on LANE... he's been traveling space for 6 years now...
My favorite part of this is:
"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."
Wait.. this happens all the time? Really? That statement, by itself, its pretty amazing. Anyone find it
... odd? Somethin goin here...
Obviously, it's "space balls."
Well sh!t, there goes the planet.
Boy you people are right this thing is so huge that it created a earth quake in new zealand!
I sense something....something I haven't felt since....
So, the Viagra® is working?
Do you have to poop?
it this is a photo of the sphere where it landed , for some object that had to be falling at several hundred miles per hour it sure did not make much of a crater in the seemingly soft sand like surface ?
