Police in Japan has closed off a beach after finding a strange metal ball-like object in the sand. Authorities are concerned that the object could be a type of sea mine, according to local media sources. According to RT News, a local resident in the Shizuoka Prefecture city of Hamamatsu saw the item for the first time on Monday morning (February 20). According to reports, the item is around 1.5 meters (4.9 feet) in diameter and is thought to be constructed of iron based on the rust on its surface. The precise metal has not yet been determined. A 200-meter radius has been blocked off by police surrounding the object.
