CZAustralian authorities are investigating the origin of six large metal balls discovered on beaches in Queensland, approximately 80 kilometers north of Townsville. The objects, which were washed ashore at Forrest Beach and Taylors Beach, prompted partial beach closures and the establishment of a 50-meter safety zone by firefighters. Specialists wearing protective gear collected the items into specialized containers for hazardous materials. Initial estimates suggest they could be components of space technology, such as rocket fuel tanks or satellite parts, potentially containing toxic substances. Australia’s space agency is now tracing their origin. Dr. Alice Gorman, an expert in space archaeology, noted that the balls might be made of titanium alloy and originate from a rocket’s propulsion system. Their surfaces show no signs of atmospheric passage, which is common for similar objects. Authorities warn that more such items may wash ashore, urging people to keep a safe distance and contact emergency services if they find anything unusual. Local residents have taken the event in stride, with nearby vendors offering 'Space Debris Box' snacks marked to differentiate them from other find
