A cylindrical object was found on a beach in Australia on Sunday July 16. So far, the authorities have not been able to determine the origin of this strange element.
A fun discovery. A mysterious unidentified object was sighted on a beach in Western Australia on Sunday, July 16, the BBC reported. It was initially the residents who lived near this beach who spotted the metal cylinder, 2.5 meters long and wide, at the water’s edge before retrieving it and alerting local authorities.
We are currently inquiring about this property on a beach near Jurien Bay in Western Australia.
The object could be from an alien launch vehicle and we are in contact with colleagues around the world who may be able to provide more information.

Part of a spaceship?
The police were sent to the scene and decided to investigate the nature of the cylinder while reassuring the population. “We want to reassure the community that we are actively working with various federal and state agencies to determine the origin and nature of the object,” a police press release said.
The Australian space agency involved in the investigation assumes that it could be an “alien launch vehicle”. The other theory put forward by the experts is that of a fuel tank falling from a rocket of Indian origin. In this scenario, it would pose some environmental risk due to the possible presence of toxic materials.
MH370 theory ruled out
Some experts polled are ruling out the theory that part of a plane, specifically the infamous flight MH370, went missing in 2014 with 239 passengers on board. According to aviation expert Geoffrey Thomas, this is highly unlikely.
“It’s not a Boeing 777 part and the MH370 was lost over nine and a half years ago so the part should have suffered more wear and tear,” he explains. .
