A 2.5-meter chuck of what appears to be space debris washed up at Green Head beach, about 250 km from Australia’s Perth last weekend. The origin of the object has raised curiosity among people across the globe.
Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) chief S. Somanath has clarified that the
mysterious object found on an Australian beach seems to be part of a rocket. However, whether the debris belongs to India or not is a matter of further investigation.
Meanwhile, the Australian Space Agency on Wednesday said that the object is “most likely a solid rocket motor casing” but the origin and identity of the item remain unknown. At the same time, multiple media reports suggest that debris has probably come from an Indian rocket launch.
“Negotiations between Australia’s and India’s
space agencies to coordinate cleanup are reportedly underway,” ABC reported.
Meanwhile, Australian authorities are treating the object as “hazardous” and have requested people to keep a safe distance, as the debris could contain toxic materials.
The mysterious large metal object, approximately 2.5 meters (8.2 feet) in width and 2.5 - 3 m in length, was first discovered on July 16.
Since, people have speculated multiple theories behind the debris' origin. Some people even said that the object could be a piece from the disappeared flight MH370, which mysteriously vanished during its journey from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing in 2014.
