Experts baffled by metal sphere that crashed to Earth in remote area of Namibia
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 [OE]two halves welded together[base '], 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.
He said that the ball was discovered a month ago but it has only now been made public. Whilst it was made of a [OE]sophisticated material[base '], it was something that was known to mankind.
He explained that the explosion heard by locals could have been the sonic boom when it broke the sound barrier coming down to Earth, or by the impact on the ground.
