The bronze-colored cylindrical object was discovered on Saturday near Jurien Bay in Western Australia.
Officials in Australia are asking for the public's help in identifying a huge metal object that washed ashore.
"As the origin of the object is unknown, the community should avoid handling or attempting to move the object," said the Australian Space Agency. Australian officials speculate that the object may be from a"foreign space launch vehicle," adding that it's working with international counterparts to potentially provide more information about its origins.People online have offered their guesses about where the object came from — with many suggesting it could be from the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370.
A piece of debris from the plane was first found on an island in the Indian Ocean in 2015, but an official cause of what happened to the plane was never determined.
