Three mysterious orbs that resemble a droid used for torture in the Star Wars movies have fallen from the graces of heaven and made ground in a southern Spanish field. The space objects sparked a mass panic among locals, triggering an avalanche of speculations and conspiracy theories.

The black orb was originally discovered in the village of Villavieja, Murcia, about a week ago. Spanish goat farmers stumbled across the object, which bears a striking resemblance to the IT-O Interrogator, a torture device portrayed in the Star Wars franchise.^[1]

The IT-O Interrogator is a black, hovering ball of steel equipped with various surgical instruments. The droid obtains information from prisoners by injecting them with a mentally disturbing chemical that decreases the pain threshold while keeping the victims conscious. It reads the body, detecting the most sensitive areas like the genitals, joints, neck and less obvious parts. The IT-O Interrogator was such a feared element in the Star Wars movies and books that many prisoners would even begin reciting their sins once they see it float into their cells.^[2]

The droid was intentionally designed to be emotionless. It asked its victims questions in a straight, monotone voice. Whenever the IT-O Interrogator worked with a living assistant, it would remain silent; thereby making the prisoner abhor the droid, while at the same time view the living interrogator as a source of potential mercy. Now, similar looking objects seem to be raining like hell fire over the skies of Spain.^[2]

Rise of the falling death stars

It is not yet known what the objects are, despite their eerie resemblance to the IT-O Interrogator. Some speculate they are pieces of space debris, whereas others suggest they are UFOs. Investigators wearing yellow bio hazard suits approached the object and took it away for further investigation. The men alerted the Civil Guard about the objects and the area was subsequently put under quarantine.

“I think it is a more serious issue than it seems. Citizens have real concerns about what is happening and deserve an explanation,” said Calasparra mayor, Jose Velez. “Where are these objects coming from? Why are they falling here precisely? Will more fall? And what would happen if any of these balls fall into a highly populated area?”^[1]

The mystery objects are reported to be neither radioactive nor explosive. Nevertheless, researchers took them away for further analysis. According to the local news site El Pais, researchers believe the objects may be a pressurized gas chamber, which fell to Earth from space. Similar objects have been discovered in Australia and Brazil.^[1]

More UFO crashes plague rural Spain

The Civil Guard originally claimed the object was an aerospace artifact. They suggested it may have fallen from a rocket or satellite. After this statement, however, another object fell from the sky. The second object caused even more alarm since the likelihood of space debris striking the same region twice is incredibly small. Then, a third object was subsequently found in rural Spain, in Villavieja, Murcia. Why are the objects plaguing the region? Are they dangerous? Some local farmers even claim to have seen seven or eight fireballs piercing the sky.

“The area has all the earmarks of being a container pressure for gases, possibly a space station,” a local community manager who has conducted his own research on the objects told sources. “These objects are made of a material so strong as to survive almost intact reentry into the earth and even catastrophic explosions.”^[3]

Despite these conjectures, no one can claim with certainty what the mysterious objects actually are. The Murcia local government has invited anyone who claims to own the orbs to step forward.
