The beach ball-sized metal lemon that fell to Earth

I haven’t been able to process this and put it away, so I guess I should blog about it.

A giant metal lemon fell from the sky into Namibia last month.  It weighs 13 pounds and has a circumference of 3.6 feet, so that’s about the size of a beach ball, right?  It’s hollow, and the alloy is known, though apparently fairly exotic.  No one has stepped forward as its owner.

Paul Ludik, director of Namibia’s National Forensic Science Institute, claims that metallic spheres commonly fall from space in the Southern Hemisphere.

Really?

What would this be for?  It’s clearly manufactured.  Look at it and try to imagine a purpose.  Whatcha got?
