Was there a Logitech controller inside?

Possibly…

Dr Alice Gorman, an expert in the field of space archaeology, said she believes the object is a fuel cylinder that came from the the third stage of India’s Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle rocket, as many have suggested on social media. https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2023/jul/17/mystery-object-wa-beach-green-head-western-australia

Or the sea life has rapidly evolved and is now plotting our destruction. All part of the orca uprising.

Sounds plausible to me (the fuel cylinder ID rather than the orca uprising...).

Usual rules for rocket crashes apply - if there's any red coloration, then treat it as toxic (hypergolics) - hopefully any fuel is already washed out by the sea
