The Australian Space Agency (ASA) has said it has "identified the likely source" of half a dozen mysterious silver spheres found washed up on beaches in Australia.The objects, which appeared as big chrome balls, were discovered near Forrest Beach in northern Queensland, roughly 80 kilometres north of Townsville, over the weekend.The ASA said this morning that the objects "appear to be pressure vessels from a space launch vehicle", working with international authorities to formally confirm the specific craft of origin.According to the ASA's latest statement, "the objects' location and characteristics are consistent with debris from a foreign rocket body that recently re-entered the atmosphere from orbit".
