Freaky goings-on in Charleston?

Don’t want to interrupt the Charleston lovefest, but this story reminds me of the sneakers which are traveling around the world. They fell off a cargo ship in 1990 and are still being found. Maybe the mysterious orbs are part of a similar lost cargo.

Does anybody know where I can find a picture of this thing? I’d love to see it.

Mkay. I’m going to start a totally different thread tomorrow morning about a Charleston DopeFest when I’m sober. $2 Red Stripes were too good a deal to pass up tonight.

I can’t find a pic of the mysterious metal balls online, but I can probably scan and post the pic that was in the newspaper this weekend. I’ll let y’all know.

Ouah. Time for bed!

My theory is that these are fuel tanks from foreign spacecraft or rockets. I read somewhere that they are round and very substantial, so that they can handle the pressurized oxygen and hydrogen. When a spacecraft burns up in the atmosphere, the fuel tanks are usually the only thing that survives, IIRC.
