INFO PLEASE.
In 1985 I went fishing at Fitzmaurice Bay on King Island Tasmania, and found a 70cm 28inch Titanium sphere, and thought it was some sort of BOUY.
It would not fit in my Holden HQ sedan so I hid it behind some trees.
I told my Parents about it and they picked it up a few days later when they went fishing at the same place.
We were later told it was off SKYLAB and we should get it checked out.
My Dad took it to the local Police Station and it was put in as Lost and Found.
The ARMY flew over from Victoria to do a Radioactivity test and that was OK.
NASA was informed but said they didn't want it back.
So it was legally Dads after 3 months.
He has given it to me and I enter it in our local GEM and MINERAL FAIR every year but want more information to put on the information board that goes with it.
Any info or any facts to prove it is off SKYLAB would be greatly appreciated.
