    Experts baffled by metal sphere that crashed to Earth in remote area

    It is a mysterious ball that looks like a prop from a science fiction film - and nobody can explain where it came from.

    Police have been left baffled after a strange metal sphere fell to the ground in a remote area of northern Namibia, Africa.

    It weighs around 13lbs, has a diameter of 14 inches and its rough surface looks like ‘two halves welded together’, said police forensics director Paul Ludik.

    When the craft came down it caused a crater 12 inches deep and 13ft wide, although the ball itself was some 60ft away.

    Locals claimed to have heard several explosions in the days before it was discovered by a farmer on his land.

      The sphere could be a hydrazine tank used on satellites such as the one pictured

        This is likely Debris from the failed Soyuz rocket explosion that happened upwind from there a few days ago.
