Damn you, Dark Helmet!

A large metallic ball fell out of the sky on a remote grassland in Namibia, prompting baffled authorities to contact NASA and the European space agency.

The hollow ball with a circumference of 1.1 metres (43 inches) was found near a village in the north of the country some 750 kilometres (480 miles) from the capital Windhoek, according to police forensics director Paul Ludik.

Locals had heard several small explosions a few days beforehand, he said.

Bob: "So...like...it's not a spaceball, eh...it's more like an experimental keg we launched into space with our special rocket launcher that we built out of beer cans.."

Doug: "We'd like our ball back, eh?"
