Today, an iron ball that resembled a balloon washed ashore on the Enshu beach off the coast of Japan’s Hamamatsu city, with people speculating that it was either a UFO, Dragon ball or some other surveillance balloon.
At first, it was theorized that it might be a misplaced mine. But when the professionals used an X-ray to examine it, they discovered that it was hollow. In order to look into the mysterious ball, the area was sealed and explosive professionals were contacted. Nonetheless, reports claim that the identity of the ball and its origin remains a mystery.
A villager of Hamamatsu, a southern coastal city some 155 miles from Tokyo, called the police just before 9 a.m. to report “a large round object washed up on the beach,” according to a report by Asahi News.
The large orange-and-brown-colored iron ball, had a diameter of roughly 1.5 meters, according to the local media. Now, videos of the authorities wearing safety gear have appeared on social media.
According to reports, the Japanese defense specialists have received photos of the ball for additional examination. Yet, a local who regularly visits the area claims that the ball has been there for about a month.
It’s been there for a month,” he told public broadcaster NHK. “I tried to push it, but it wouldn’t budge.”
One theory put out by online users is that the mysterious object was a UFO that was hovering over Japan when it crashed onto the beach. Dragon Ball fans have also into the debate, teasing that the big sphere is actually a real-life Dragon Ball from the manga and media franchise.

Authorities currently only have a very limited understanding of the object. The ball has two raised handles, however, which suggests that it could have been attached to something else. This has prompted some to conclude that it was a moored floating device that escaped its anchor.
