A\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.newsner.com\/tag\/strange-object\/\">strange object<\/a>\u00a0had landed in the Australian Outback. While not much is known about the object, authorities believe that the object fell from the sky.<\/p>\n<p>The Australian Transport Safety Bureau confirmed that the object is not from a commercial airplane as was initially suspected. The initial findings show that the object could be made from carbon fibre and is potentially from a pressure vessel or a rocket tank. The material is consistent with what you would find in \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/en.newsner.com\/tag\/space\/\">aerospace<\/a>\u00a0components.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>In a statement made by the WA police, they said, \u201cIn consultation with the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB), the object has been ruled out as originating from a commercial aircraft.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFurther technical assessment will be undertaken by engineers from the Australian Space Agency to assist in identifying its nature and source.\u201d They went on to add, \u201cThe object has been secured, and there is no current threat to public safety.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Images of the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.newsner.com\/tag\/weird-news\/\">strange object<\/a>\u00a0showed it glowing and smouldering on red sand. Another image showed it burnt out by the time officials had arrived on the scene.<\/p>\n<p>While the idea that it is from a commercial aircraft has been ruled out, police have said that it does look similar to what they consider space debris.<\/p>\n<p>They also shared that they are working with the Australian Space Agency, the Department of Fire and Emergency Services and a mine operator to figure out the object\u2019s origin.<\/p>\n<p>Some people, of course, have questioned whether the item has an extraterresterial element to them. There have been reports of UFO sightings in the area.<\/p>\n<p>In 2003, some sizable space debris was found washed ashore around 1,000km of the same area. At the time, the Australian Space Agency stated that the space debris likely originated from an Indian launch vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>It is not uncommon for space debris to make its way to Australia, according to Perth Observatory\u2019s Matt Woods.<\/p>\n<p>He\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.9news.com.au\/national\/suspected-space-junk-crash-lands-on-wa-mine-site\/d44e81a0-46ea-4ede-9d7a-cad4ddfd1e27\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">said in an interview,<\/a>\u00a0\u201cIt is on purpose that this bit of rocket body has landed back, but it could just be the way that it\u2019s been tumbling that this piece was able to survive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you think of this mysterious object and what could be its origin?
