"My husband was tied up at work, so I rang my dad and he was the one that took the police down to the space balls," said Scobie.
International news organizations quickly flooded the remote coastal community with inquiries regarding the true nature of the debris.
"Everyone wants to know what are they, that's the big question still that we really don't have any definitive answers to," said Scobie.
Local community members confirmed that the finders did not suffer any negative medical consequences from handling the objects.
"But also making sure that the people that did find it, they haven't reported any ill effects, and they're still alive and kicking."

"We have one of the most beautiful beaches in the world.

The objects have since been removed from the beach, and authorities are expected to attempt to return them to their original country of origin.
