Mysterious object washed up on Australian beach

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) —Authorities say a mysterious object that washed up on a beach in Australia is “safe.”

Police initially labeled it as “hazardous” while they worked with state and federal agencies to determine the risk to the area.

The metal cylinder is about 6-foot-6.

Some beachgoers speculate it may have been a piece of a ship.

But, so far, there is no word on what the object is and where it came from.
