A third mysterious black space object to fall from the sky into rural Spain has caused panic among locals.

The strange-looking black orb was found in the village of Villavieja in Murcia - becoming the latest instance of an increasingly bewildering phenomenon, the Olive Press reported. It's not yet known what the objects are, though theories range from UFOs to pieces of space debris.

The first instance of the strange phenomenon occurred one week ago, when Spanish goat farmers discovered the strange object, which bears a striking resemblance to the Star Wars torture device, the IT-O Interrogator, in Calasparra, Murcia. The men alerted the Civil Guard to investigate and the area was subsequently put under quarantine.

Although the mystery object was not said to be dangerously radioactive or explosive, it was taken away for further analysis. Local news site El Pais reported that researchers have said that the object may be a pressurised gas container, which fell to earth from space.
