Same Space junk found in both Australia & Brazil

A cattle farmer in Australia's remote northern outback on Friday said he had found a giant ball of twisted metal, which he believes is space junk from a rocket used to launch communications satellites. Similarly a sphere has 1 meter of diameter and was found in a farm in central Brazil this weekend

Farmer James Stirton found the odd-shaped ball last year on his 40,000 hectare property, about 800 kilometers (500 miles) west of the northern Queensland state capital of Brisbane.

He said the object was hollow, and covered in a carbon-fibre material.

According to SebastiĆ£o Marques da Costa, man who found the object, it was hot when he found it.
