It's not from a spacecraft, neither is it from a satellite nor from a rocket; fumble officials from the Russian Federal Space Agency and NASA as they struggle to find the origin of a mysterious titanium object, weighing 200 kilograms, which fell from the sky, reports The Telegraph. The cylindrical-shaped object, with a dome dotted by ridges was found in Otradnesnky, in Siberia, Russia, in a forest and has since been inviting curious villagers, who haven't been able to fathom such a giant piece in their village. The villagers, however, know that the titanium object (parts of which has been of ultra-strong titanium) landed in a nearby forest on March 18.

They then attached the giant dome to a trailer, and dragged it to their village in the snow. Once there, local inspectors carefully assessed the piece, before informing the higher authorities in Moscow. While local reporters are increasingly of the belief that they may be from a fallen Meridian satellite or a ballistic missile, the Russian Federal Space Agency thinks otherwise.



Reportedly, there was no radiation observed, neither inside nor around the object. However, further details on the mysterious findings are sketchy, since the officials from NASA or their Russian counterparts do not possess more detailed photos or data, thereby limiting their conclusions. The report further adds, "NASA agrees with their Russian counterparts. Nick Johnson—who directs NASA's orbital debris office—says that "the object almost certainly is not related to a spacecraft. It also does not look like part of a launch vehicle which has fallen from orbit."

Interestingly, natives belonging to this village in Russia aren't new to such sightings. Reportedly, just two years ago, they had spotted something similar - with a bear living in it! There is also some speculation that the "mysterious object", may very well be a secret weapon!

Hmm, Russian stuff falling from the sky. Nothing unusual. We have plenty of such instances here.

Looks like an alien water tank.

Is this the new internet phenomenon after that little goey alien insectoid?

Definitely some old Soviet crap.

Testing a capsule for manned flight. The bear must have been a test subject.
Why would they test with a bear when they already have mastered manned flight for the last 4 decades..?

Then bears have become intelligent.

The only reason why a bear was sent up was for tests or an animal related experiment in outer space. Now why animal testing is still going on could have a number of reasons with the first being new capsule technology that cannot yet be risked on humans. There may possibly be medical reasons like heart, BP and muscle related medicines for outer space applications.

Surviving living conditions in outer space is not as easy as one might think. That's why only the best are sent there.

Did you guys consider the possibility that the bear was living in it *after* it crashed from the sky and landed in the forest? :sad:

A 200 kg titanium object falls from higher space and it didn't got even a scratch nor any burning sign which is obviously known by everyone that every thing falling from higher sky face thousands of degree temperature and still it has no burning sign? Strange.
