Sea balloon, but it is much more reasonable to be scared of this than a random balloon
Feb. 22 (UPI) -- Japanese authorities are investigating the origins of a mysterious iron ball that washed up on a Hamamatsu City beach.
The orb, which measures nearly 5 feet in diameter, prompted police to close off Enshu beach out of fears it could be a mine or other explosive device, but an X-ray of the ball determined it was hollow.
Two raised handles on the surface of the ball led to speculation it could be a mooring buoy that came loose and floated away from its intended location.
Police said the Japanese military and coast guard are reviewing photos of the object in an attempt to identify it.
Lol, why is this mysterious, it's clearly a bouy. Japan, a country surrounded by water, should know what a bouy looks like.
if i was rich, this is the sort of pointless silly shit i would do
just dump weird stuff over the side of a yacht and giggle as it makes the newsCommission a whole bunch of bronze alien deity statues and drop them at the bottom of various lakes and caves around the world
Don't even need to be rich tbh. Pack a giant inflatable ball onto a cruise ship. Optionally fill it with random junk to make it sink if you wish
Dump it overboard in the middle of the night
He can’t keep getting away with sending these spy
balloonsbuoys!:xi-pog:
Reminds me of the old Japanese folk tale about the foreign lady with the red hair who washed up on shore in some weird craft
The Moonies own a huge media corporation: News World Communications, so you see their publications all over east Asia. That's what happens when the CIA gives your cult money to act as a bulwark against communism.
They scrambled a helicopter just so it could hover expensively near the buoy. Because police state.
