Phil Bland, Professor of Planetary Science from Curtin University, suggested that it looks like space debris and he said “These types of fuel pods can be one of the most resistant things people find.” He is part of a team which is currently tracking the path of the Soyuz rocket launched from Kazakhstan on July 8. The rocket, currently in the third stage, was said to have plummeted to Earth at 29,000 kilometres per hour on July 10.

Professor Bland said that it could be from a space rocket but he had doubts that it came from the Russian rocket sighted over Australia and that where Pater claims to have found the item is hundreds of kilometres east of the path of the re-entry. What surprised him is the track the rocket took as it was far away from the line they got from the United States. He exclaimed that they may get scattered plus or minus a few kilometres but there is no possibility that it can move such a distance.
