"Unidentified Space Debris Found on Australian Beach Sparks Speculation"

Authorities in Australia are investigating a cylindrical object, believed to be part of a rocket, that washed up on a remote beach. The Australian Space Agency is working with other space agencies to identify the object, which appears to be made of a woven material. An engineer from the European Space Agency suggests that it may be an upper-stage engine from an Indian rocket. The responsible party for launching the object into space is responsible for its disposal. The object has been deemed safe, and police will remove it once its origin is formally identified. Early theories that it may be part of the missing Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 have been discounted.
