At first glance,I misread it as “meatball” and thought “what luck!” Sorry, presbyopia.

It’s an old story, and no longer a mystery...

Metal ball!
Metal ball!

I thought it said meatball.

Anyhoo, I once saw a real-life, all-true, totally undsputable documentary about a Coca-Cola bottle that fell from the heavens.

Totally messed those people up.

Then they oughta be careful. Hydrazine is incredibly toxic and carcinogenic. The Russkie space workhorse, the Proton rocket used hydrazine and its spent stages litter the steppe and tundra. The Siberian natives recycled materials used in the stages they found and suffered poisoning as a result.

Is that ball in the photo, with the red and yellow splotches on it the ball that fell in Namibia? If that’s the actual ball, it didn’t fall from space.

It could not have plunged through the atmosphere without reaching high enough temps to have scorched the paint off of it and turned it black at the minimum; and quite possibly have badly deformed or melted it at the worst. Probably picked up by a tornado someplace, and Namibia’s where it came down.

Recent theory is it's a nineteen-inch-diameter 39-liter hydrazine bladder tank for spacecraft, launch vehicle and upper stage applications. Titanium hydrazine propellant tank with EPDM bladder, is typically used on all versions of Ariane 5 and the Atmospheric Re-entry Demonstrator.
