Sphere characteristics
According to the authorities, the sphere has an incredible 1.5 meters in diameter, is made of metal and contains handles, in addition to presenting a very rusty appearance.
How was the object found?
While walking along the beach, a man spotted the sphere and decided to report it to the police. He even reported that the object had been there for about 1 month and claimed to have tried to push the object. However, he was too heavy and it was not possible to remove him from the site.
After all, what is the object about?
Even with several associations made to the sphere, its origin is unknown. Many people relate it to sea mines, mooring buoys (vision boosted by the presence of the handles), explosive spheres and even spheres from science fiction movies. However, it is the role of the authorities to investigate and release information about the mysterious discovery.
After the authorities took charge of the situation, investigations began. Firstly, the police installed a blockade within a radius of 200 meters from the site. After carrying out examinations with X-ray machines on the sphere, it was possible to notice that its interior was empty, that is, the sphere is hollow. Consequently, any risk of explosion has been ruled out, meaning the object poses no threat. However, authorities say they still don't know exactly what the sphere is about.
