A large metal ball that fell from space into the Namibian grasslands last month is not alien, officials say, but that's about all they know for certain about the object.
According to a report on The Namibian website, the 13-pound metal sphere with two bumps on its poles was found by a farmer near Onamatunga in the Omunsati region between November 15 and November 20. Explosions were heard in the area before the discovery, but no evidence of an explosion was seen around the area where the object was found.
Paul Ludik, director of the country's National Forensic Science Institute, told The Namibian the sphere, with a circumference of 3.6 feet, is made of a "sophisticated" metal alloy that is known to man, but he said it has no markings that would identify it. No international space agency has claimed ownership, he said.
“A number of tests have been performed on the object, and it appears to be hollow. We are still busy with a detailed examination of the object,” The Namibian quotes him as saying.
Ludik told The Namibian that the object poses no cause for alarm, and that such reports of metallic spheres falling from space are common in the Southern Hemisphere.
So should we expect a run on helmets at sporting goods stores south of the equator?
据外电22日报道，最近，一个奇怪的金属球撞击了非洲纳米比亚的一处荒漠地带，引起了各种猜测。
这个金属球是在距离纳米比亚首都温特和克772公里的一个荒漠地带发现的。该球重达6.3千克，直径为35厘米，看似由两个半球焊接而成。
据悉，该球撞击地面时曾发出巨大声响，并撞出一个0.3米深，4米宽的大坑，而该球是在离坑18米开外的地方找到的。
有人揣测，该球酷似儿童玩具中的天线宝宝，也许是外太空生命的物品；也有人怀疑该球是太空中人造卫星的部件。
目前，纳米比亚政府已将该事件告知美国宇航局和欧洲航天局，请求他们协助调查。
