Mysterious Spheres Washed Ashore: Several Beaches in Australia Closed

Nine beaches in Sydney, including the well-known Manly Beach, have been closed to bathers after small white and grey balls washed up on the shores. An analysis is currently being awaited from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to clarify what is inside the balls, according to the mayor of the Northern Beaches. Work is already underway to safely remove the balls. Most of the spherical samples were the size of marbles, but some were larger, according to a statement.

The incident is reminiscent of a similar one in October of the previous year, when several beaches, including Bondy Beach, had to be closed after the appearance of black balls. An investigation later revealed that the balls consisted of fatty acids related to cosmetics and cleaning agents, as well as hair, food waste, and sewage substances.
