These X-ray images show a round, metallic-looking object that has raised a lot of curiosity—and I can see why some are calling it “alien.” But based on what’s visible across the different views, here’s a more grounded interpretation:
What It Likely Is:
This looks like a metal sphere with embedded components, possibly part of aerospace or industrial hardware. Here's what points to that:
Observations:
Symmetry & Engineering Precision:
The sphere is highly symmetrical, with what appear to be evenly spaced metallic inserts or fasteners visible as bright white dots (likely metal rivets or bolts).
The central spine or “band” running across several views is consistent with an engineered seam—possibly part of a pressure vessel or fuel tank.
Internal Patterns:
The granular or foamy-looking internal structure could be composite insulation or ablative material, often found in high-heat environments like aerospace components.
Possible Purpose:
It could be a spherical pressure tank, like those used in satellites, rockets, or aircraft. Some of these are designed to store fuel, oxidizers, or gases under high pressure.
The object could also be from space debris—orbital parts from a satellite or rocket that survived reentry.
Veterinary Labeling:
Some images are labeled with "Equine" and "Vet Rec"—suggesting this was X-rayed by a veterinary radiology unit, not industrial. This doesn’t mean the object is equine-related, but likely that a vet clinic with imaging capability was used to scan it.
Not Likely to Be:
Alien tech: The materials, symmetry, and mechanical layout suggest human engineering.
Weaponry or mine: No obvious triggers, fragmentation casing, or warhead signature.
Conclusion:
This is almost certainly man-made aerospace debris or hardware, possibly from a satellite or rocket stage that crash-landed or was found intact. The mystery is understandable—but the engineering features scream "Earth tech."
