AN UNIDENTIFIED METAL object has fallen from the sky over Siberia, sparking much speculation about what it is and where it may have come from.

The Russian Federal Space Agency has denied ownership of the object, stating: “The object is not a rocket or a spacecraft, but in final conclusions can only be drawn once it is examined.”
