Strange Objects Found on a Beach in Queensland
昆士蘭海邊發現神秘物品
Introduction
Police found six round objects on a beach in North Queensland. They want to know what these objects are and where they came from.
警方在北昆士蘭的一個海邊發現了六個圓形物體。他們想知道這些物體是什麼以及來自何處。
Main Body
Police and fire workers went to the beach on Friday. They told people to leave their homes for a short time. They put the objects in big metal drums to keep people safe.
警方與消防人員於週五前往海邊。他們要求居民暫時撤離家中。他們將物體放入大型金屬桶中以確保人員安全。
Experts think the objects are from a rocket. They are made of a strong metal called titanium. They probably held fuel for a rocket from Russia. This fuel is very dangerous and toxic.
專家認為這些物體來自火箭。它們是由一種稱為鈦的強韌金屬製成。這些很可能是俄羅斯火箭的燃料箱。這種燃料非常危險且有毒。
Many rockets go into space now. Because of this, more old rocket parts fall to Earth. This happened before in Australia and Namibia.
現在有許多火箭進入太空。因此，更多舊的火箭零件掉落地球。澳洲與納米比亞先前也發生過同樣的情況。
Conclusion
The objects are in drums. The Space Agency is still studying them.
物體目前被存放在桶中。太空總署仍在研究中。
