Why assume its alien?

I don't know what it is, but it seems a leap to call it alien.

I've seen this before. Supposedly it's a ballast tank or something from some kind of satellite.

A large metallic ball has fallen from the heavens and landed in a remote region of Namibia, spurring a lot of speculation about its origins and spurring local authorities to get NASA and the European Space Agency on the horn. No one is sure where the hollow metallic object came from, but it definitely came down hard--it was found 60 feet away from its landing site, a hole more than a foot deep and 12 feet across.

It appears that they don't know what it is. Some think it fell from an airplane, others think it fell from a UFO. There were some that were thinking it had something to do with the 2012 prophecies.

Their government stated that they did not have an office that investigated that type of aerial phenomena.

I have no idea what it might be.

Finally! Its proven, the chinese lantern does look weird though, made from iron, must be because to hold the swamp gas pressure.

On side story, what explode that brought this piece of junk falling ? Satellite ?

Good grief, not this again!! It's a hydrazine tank, they use them on satellites.
