Any idea where these space balls came from? Its speculated that several such balls have dropped in southern Africa, Australia and Latin America in the past 20 years.

I've heard of a lot of strange reports, but meat balls would be a first.
Thank you! That's what I keep reading!Ivan Seeking said:Okay, without my glasses I was reading this as "meat balls falling from space". :rofl: This isn't quite so bad.

Metal balls falling from space refer to small spherical objects made of metal that enter the Earth's atmosphere from outer space.
These metal balls are usually debris or fragments from satellites, rockets, or other spacecraft that have entered Earth's atmosphere and burned up due to friction with the air.
The size of these metal balls can vary greatly, ranging from a few millimeters to several meters in diameter. The size depends on the size of the original object that broke apart in space.
In most cases, these metal balls are not dangerous as they disintegrate in the Earth's atmosphere before reaching the ground. However, there is a small chance of damage or injury if one of these metal balls were to hit a person or object on the ground.
Metal balls falling from space are relatively rare events, and most of them go unnoticed. However, on average, about 100 tons of space debris falls to Earth each year, with some of it being in the form of metal balls.
