Space Expert Provides Insights on Mystery Object Found on WA Beach

Dr. Brad Tucker, a space expert from the Australian National University in Canberra, has weighed in on the mystery object that washed up on a beach north of Perth. According to Dr. Tucker, the object could potentially be a component of a rocket, likely the top part engine.

While the exact origin of the object remains unknown, possibilities have been suggested, including India, China, and French Guyana. However, further investigation is required to confirm its source.

Dr. Tucker also issued a warning to individuals who may encounter similar mysterious objects in the future, likening them to Australian animals in the sense that they should not be touched unless one knows what they are doing. Space debris can pose risks, and caution should be exercised when handling such items.

In terms of the object’s fate, Dr. Tucker mentioned that if the origin can be determined, the government would be obligated to return it to the respective country. However, if identification proves challenging or no country claims ownership, it would be up to the finders and the government to decide its fate. Dr. Tucker humorously speculated that it might even end up as a sculpture in Perth or serve some other purpose.

As investigations continue, authorities will work to unravel the mystery surrounding the object and determine the appropriate course of action.
