Two weeks ago, a mysterious object was found on a beach north of the city of Perth, in western Australia.
At the time, local police asked spectators to stay away from the large cylinder because they thought it could be dangerous.
– Can be dangerous
There were many opinions about the origin of the large object, but now the conclusion has come, according to the Australian news channel News.com.au.
Indications
On social media, there was speculation as to whether it could be a spaceship that had crashed into the sea.

The Australian Space Agency (ASA) believed they had a theory as to what the object could be.
– The object could be a cylinder for storing fuel on a space rocket, Alice Gorman, professor of space archeology told The Guardian.

During the last period, ASA together with local authorities have tried to find out what the object is and where it comes from.
Most likely
Recently, the Australian Space Agency published the response on Twitter.
The object belongs to the Indian company Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), and is most likely to be part of a three-stage rocket, says the Twitter message.
We have concluded the object located on a beach near Jurien Bay in Western Australia is most likely debris from an expended third-stage of a Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV).
The PSLV is a medium-lift launch vehicle operated by @isro.
