A metal sphere of obscure beginning appeared on an ocean side in Japan, provoking specialists to close off the area to explore it.
Japanese officials investigate mysterious sphere washed up on beach
A nearby lady revealed the circle to the police on Tuesday, Asahi News detailed. According to the agency, the “iron ball” with a 1.5-meter diameter washed up on Enshu beach in the Hamamatsu city. During their investigation, the authorities quickly restricted access to a 200-meter radius.
According to Asahi News, the object is rusted, which leads one to believe that it is made of iron. Additionally, it has a handle-like protrusion that suggests it could be attached to another object.
Workers surrounded the object with equipment in protective gear in footage from the Fuji News Network (FNN). The network says that an X-ray showed that it was hollow. According to FNN, authorities determined there was no danger of an explosion and lifted restrictions at 4 p.m., but they have yet to identify the threat.
The device resembles mooring buoys, which are typically employed as an alternative to anchors, despite the fact that nothing has been proved. Typically, the outer shell of these buoys is made of metal. However, there has been a lot of speculation on social media about what the ball might be. It has been compared to spheres from several science fiction movies, including Godzilla and War of the Worlds.
A mysterious metal sphere has washed up on a beach in Japan, leaving locals and Japanese authorities clueless as to its origin or purpose
After the US shot down three (at the time) unexplained objects this month, including an alleged Chinese spy balloon, public interest in unidentified objects has never been higher.
President Biden revealed that the downed objects were really dull research balloons, indicating that not all of these objects have extraterrestrial or even military connections. The suspected surveillance balloon, according to China, was exclusively used for civilian studies.
