Mysterious Sphere Falls from Space



For a few days, people living in a remote area of Namibia heard strange explosions. Then they found this sphere, which is about 14 inches in diameter, in an impact crater about 12 feet across. What is it for? Who does it belong to? So far, it has yet to extinguish all life on earth, but puzzled authorities are investigating. In the comments, write your own hypotheses about the origins and purposes of this sphere.

Looks like a "Rail Gun" projectile to me..........the opposite nodes may help in stabilizing . YouTube " Rail Gun" ...they`re funky and would leave craters that size given the hectic velocities claimed.

Apparently it is a helium tank from a Russian space craft. The mystery was solved in the comments section of the other website.

While I realize that most fountains are powered by electricity, it could be gravity fed. That's how nearly all fountains until the late 1800s worked, including the fountains of Rome. How is Sherman so certain that this isn't one such?

The solution is incomplete. The wife said she came out an ANOTHER entrance. Yet we are led from the description provided there is only 1 entrance. Why couldn't the wife and her lover McQuire do it together. Her leading her husband to a pre-arranged spot, and then McQuire doing the killing. Remember they found the body together, so why could they not have killed together.
