[b]A large metallic ball has fallen out of the sky on a remote grassland in Namibia, prompting baffled authorities to contact NASA and the European space agency.[/b]
The hollow ball with a circumference of 1.1 metres was found near a village in the north of the country some 750 kilometres from the capital Windhoek, according to police forensics director Paul Ludik.
Locals had heard several small explosions a few days beforehand, he said.
With a diameter of 35 centimetres, the ball has a rough surface and appears to consist of "two halves welded together".
[b]It was made of a "metal alloy known to man" and weighed six kilograms, Mr Ludik said.[/b]
The ball was found 18 metres from its landing spot, a hole 33 centimetres deep and 3.8 metres wide.
[b]Several such balls have dropped in southern Africa, Australia and Latin America in the past 20 years, authorities found in an internet search.[/b]
The sphere was discovered in mid-November, but authorities first did tests before announcing the find.
Police deputy inspector general Vilho Hifindaka concluded the sphere did not pose any danger.
"It is not an explosive device, but rather hollow - we had to investigate all this first," he said.

Sounds most likely like fuel tanks.
Hate to tell you gentlemen, but it looks man-made. What alien would be so careless as to drop a doublesided boob on us?
I think it was Dan's Boobies, after all Dan was Boobies

It's obviously an alien trap knowing that the only thing better than a boob is a double one.
"It is not an explosive device, but rather hollow..."
Yeah that's a fuel tank.
It looks small for a fuel tank, possibly a counter weight for some satellite
33 centimeters across. Pretty insignificant, could have come off any number of man made devices in space. Damn, got a little excited there for a second.
It said that they dropped different places around the world, they will turn into robot spiders and take over the world!!!
It's a satellite fuel tank. *Facepalm*

If Sask is in reference to Saskatchewan I'd like to know where this hit
Maybe it came from the same place as [url=http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-205_162-57335646/a-plymouth-rock-from-outer-space/]this giant hunk of metal that fell earlier this month.[/url]
