    Someone already posted this somewhere. It’s a second stage from a rocket (India?). Can’t recall the exact one.

    “It was a lovely, still night, the kids were digging sand castles around it,” he told the ABC.

    Good thing it wasn’t some sort of explosive! Idiot parents.

      Just an exhausted rocket stage. Definitely not explosive.

          I mean, like how an exhausted aerosol can is ‘definitely not explosive’.

        So probably housing all sorts of dangerous fuels?

        Anyone remember the Chinese one that crashed in China a few years back and was super toxic?

        Might have residue of hydrazine or other nasty stuff, though. Definitely not safe to be around until it’s been checked out.

        It’s weird how the “experts” cited in the article defaulted to guessing it’s from an airplane. You’d think they’d default to rocket debris.

      No, no, must be aliens. Or the emus launched something from their secret underground base.
