Japan: Mysterious iron ball washed up on beach (VIDEO)  

“It’s not a mine,” say the authorities investigating it

mysterious iron ball has washed up on the shores of the coastal city of Hamamatsu in Japan, causing fear among residents and alarming local authorities, who rushed to check what was happening. 

This suspicious bullet of unknown origin was spotted by an androgynous man walking on the beach who alerted the police. The sphere has a diameter of about 1.5 meters and is thought to be probably made of iron because it has a coating of rust on it. 

The police authorities cordoned off the area within a radius of 200 meters just in case, as an anti-terrorist team was sent to determine if it was a bomb or an explosive device.

After a thorough X-ray examination, it was determined that the bullet was empty and there was no danger of exploding. It has been noticed by some users that there is a protrusion that allows it to be hooked somewhere and resembles a buoy. 

However, Japanese authorities are yet to confirm what it is despite the fact that it was removed from the scene. For this reason there are many speculations and theories in the air about what it is from a spy balloon to a UFO.
