Alice Gorman, an expert in space archeology at Flinders University, said a mysterious two-metre object washed ashore on a Western Australian beach is part of an Indian rocket. This was reported by the Australian News portal.

According to Gorman, the object is a fuel tank for the third stage of a launch vehicle for polar satellites. He noted that the object may have become stranded during a storm.
