"Space Ball" drops on Namibia
AFP -
A large metallic ball fell out of the sky on a remote grassland in Namibia, prompting baffled authorities to contact NASA and the European space agency.
The hollow ball with a
circumference of 1.1 metres (43 inches) was found near a village in the
north of the country some 750 kilometres (480 miles) from the capital
Windhoek, according to police forensics director Paul Ludik.
Locals had heard several small explosions a few days beforehand, he said.
