Investigators are still trying to figure out the “type and origin” of the mysterious object after it washed ashore

West Australian Police liaised with the Australian Defence Force in the investigation, police said they “cannot confirm” whether military departments were involved.

Investigations have ruled out the object “did not originate from a commercial aircraft”.

“Officers are liaising with national maritime partners to identify the item,” a police spokesman said. “The investigation is ongoing, and until further information is available, we urge everyone to refrain from drawing conclusions.”

Anyone guess what this is?

From legitimate news sources (to which you mysteriously did NOT provide a link), the item resembles a liquid fuel tank from a space rocket, like the kind used to boost satellites into orbit.  The third link below shows exactly what they end of one such tank would look like (It is an Australin news source, too).  I have seen similar items on display in Huntsville, Alabama, at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center.
