Chinese underwater weather balloon.

Someone already posted this somewhere. It's a second stage from a rocket (India?). Can't recall the exact one.
KickAssDuke@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 3y
Yes, BBC posted it on their site.

Good thing it wasn't some sort of explosive! Idiot parents.

Or radioactive ☢️ like in some sad stories of the past.

"It wasn't glowing green like in the movies so we didn't worry!"

Even if it glowed bright green some people would have played with it.

Just an exhausted rocket stage. Definitely not explosive.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world · 27 pts · 3y
Yeah, but they didn't know that.
sycamore@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 3y
I mean, like how an exhausted aerosol can is 'definitely not explosive'.

So probably housing all sorts of dangerous fuels?
Anyone remember the Chinese one that crashed in China a few years back and was super toxic?
Xeelee@kbin.social · 10 pts · 3y
Might have residue of hydrazine or other nasty stuff, though. Definitely not safe to be around until it's been checked out.

It’s weird how the “experts” cited in the article defaulted to guessing it’s from an airplane. You’d think they’d default to rocket debris.

Looks very fuel tankish

No, no, must be aliens. Or the emus launched something from their secret underground base.

as opposed to an 'identified mystery object', lol
BruceTwarzen@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y
I was truly baffeld how easily it was to identify. Martha, look at this easily identifiable object
