‘Unidentified’ Mystery Object Washes Up on Australian Beach

A mystery dome that washed up on a West Australian beach and was labeled ‘unidentified’ has police mystified. Locals discovered the enormous metal object at Green Head Beach, located roughly 250 kilometers (155 miles) north of Perth.

State and federal authorities are currently scrutinizing the object, but there is no current belief that it originated from a commercial aircraft. Police have asked people to maintain a safe distance as it is being assessed as hazardous. According to a statement from the police, ‘We want to reassure the community that we are actively engaged in a collaborative effort with various state and federal agencies to determine the object’s origin and nature.’

Among them are the armed forces and Australia’s space agency. According to the Australian public broadcaster’s report, residents at Green Head Beach approximated the size of the cylinder to be around 2.5m to 3m in length and approximately 2.5m in width, as per their observations. ABC reported that the  locals came to the location on Saturday night to view the cylinder, and one said it was a ‘great social evening.’ He told the ABC that it was a beautiful, quiet night and that the children were building sandcastles nearby.

Geoffrey Thomas, an aviation authority, proposed that the item could potentially be a rocket fuel tank that might have descended into the Indian Ocean within the past year. The Australian Space Agency stated that it was probable the enormous cylinder may have fallen from a ‘foreign space launch vehicle’ and that it will coordinate with other international organizations.

Experts believe that if the fuel cylinder is indeed one, it may have come from an Indian rocket and could be filled with dangerous compounds. The aim is to furnish a serial or catalog number to ascertain if this is true or not.

There was some speculation that the cylinder may have been a component of MH370, a plane that vanished off the coast of Western Australia in 2014 with 239 people on board, but Mr. Thomas claimed there was ‘no chance’ of that. The fact that MH370 was lost nine and a half years ago means that the wreckage would exhibit far more wear and tear, he added. ‘It’s not any part of a Boeing 777.’
