‘Space ball’ that appears to have fallen from sky puzzles Namibian authorities
A large metallic ball appears to have fallen out of the sky on a remote grassland in Namibia, prompting baffled authorities to contact NASA and the European space agency.

The hollow ball with a circumference of 1.1 metres was found near a village in the north of the country some 750 kilometres from the capital Windhoek, according to police forensics director Paul Ludik.

Locals had heard several small explosions a few days beforehand, he said.

With a diameter of 35 centimetres, the ball has a rough surface and appears to consist of “two halves welded together”.

It was made of a “metal alloy known to man” and weighed six kilograms, said Mr. Ludik. (Photo: AFP/Getty Images/National Forensic Science Institute)
