Mystery Metal Spheres Found in Australia May Be Rocket Fuel Tanks

Six large silver spheres washed ashore at Forrest Beach near Townsville over July 4–5. Queensland authorities cordoned off a 50-meter zone and sealed the objects in hazmat containers under guard. The Australian Space Agency is now investigating. Specialists believe they are spacecraft propellant tanks designed to survive re-entry, but may still contain toxic rocket fuel like hydrazine. Identifying their source could take weeks.
