According to a message the embassy sent to the State Department in November 1978, an Ashburton milkman reported an object flying through the sky on October 23.

“John Lovett claims to have been in the paddock on October 22 and is certain the fragment, which was prominently located, was not in the paddock at that time.”

A second message from the embassy said it was “suspect” that the ball landed only eight kilometres south of where the 1972 balls landed.

“DSIR’s advice … that the sphere was a silicon-aluminium alloy with a melting point of less than 600 degrees caused doubt that a space object with such a low melting point could survive re-entry … even if shielded,” it said.

"The discovery of a second sphere on November 5, however, seems to increase the likelihood that the objects are indeed space fragments … "’

Instead, it was a prank. A prank that fooled NASA & the CIA.

Well done, you Spaceballs!
