Beachgoers along Queensland's coastline have been left puzzled after six mysterious spherical objects washed ashore, sparking curiosity among residents and experts alike. The objects are being investigated as possible space debris, with one expert suggesting they could be "space balls" left over from rocket launches. The Australian Space Agency (ASA) confirmed on Sunday that it is working with emergency authorities to determine the nature and origin of the objects, which were found along the Forrest Beach coastline, north of Townsville. Police have treated the debris as potentially hazardous, amid concerns the spheres could contain residual chemicals.
The Queensland Fire Department said six objects had been recovered from local beaches. Five have been secured in hazardous materials drums, while crews worked to safely recover the sixth. Authorities have also warned that additional debris could wash ashore in the coming days and urged residents not to approach any suspicious objects, instead following updates from the Australian Space Agency.
