Space Agency Investigates Six Mystery Spheres on Oz Beach

Facebook/Queensland Fire DepartmentThe Australian Space Agency is on the case after six spherical objects were discovered washed up on Forrest Beach, North Queensland. The mysterious metallic balls are thought to be space debris, with their origin and contents as yet unknown. Witnesses have reported seeing crews in protective gear under police escort, carefully storing the objects in hazmat containers. “It’s very quiet, not a lot happens here. So having a lot of extra activity... that definitely created a little bit of excitement,” one local said. While the exact makeup of the space-age beach balls isn’t known, Queensland Fire and Rescue have issued a firm warning to citizens to stay away and call emergency services in the face of further “suspicious objects.” According to a social media statement posted Sunday, the department’s “crews are continuing to assist partner agencies following the discovery of several potentially hazardous objects.” They added that “a 50-metre exclusion zone is still in place.”Read more at The Daily Beast.
