Authorities were investigating whether a cylindrical object about the size of a small car that washed up on a remote Australian beach is space junk from a foreign rocket.
CANBERRA, Australia — Authorities were investigating on Tuesday whether a cylindrical object about the size of a small car that washed up on a remote Australian beach is space junk from a foreign rocket.
“The object could be from a foreign space launch vehicle and we are liaising with global counterparts who may be able to provide more information,” the agency tweeted. The Indian Space Research Organization did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Tuesday. Some early media reports suggested the find might be part of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, a Boeing 777 that vanished in the Indian Ocean in 2014 with the loss of 239 lives. But that theory was quickly discounted.
