Australian authorities are analyzing six silver spheres found on Forrest Beach.

Authorities in Australia are investigating six large silver spheres that have appeared on Forrest Beach, in Queensland, suspected to be debris from space.

The Australian Space Agency (ASA) is trying to determine their origin, and response teams have been seen handling the spheres with protective gloves and placing them in hazmat containers due to possible hazardous substances. A 50-meter exclusion zone has been established, and authorities have warned the public not to touch the suspicious objects. Online speculation suggests that the spheres could be propulsion tanks for spacecraft, but their origin remains unknown.

The local community has been intrigued by the discovery, and in the past, similar objects have been found on the coasts of Australia, including a metal dome from India, confirmed to have come from a rocket. A similar object was also discovered in Namibia in 2011, believed to be a fuel tank from an uncrewed rocket.
