Phew! I know, you might’ve have been so worried. But I’m here to tell you to relax. So, RELAX. This is not a Super Saiyan invasion.
While Japanese site Toychan makes the inevitable comparison with Dragon Ball, Time explains that three metal balls, ranging in weight from half a pound to a hundred pounds, crashed down in Vietnam. They’re not even big enough to be real Space Pods.
Officials say they are Russian-made and were compressed air tanks for rockets. They could’ve fallen from a failed satellite launch, Time adds. Seriously, thank goodness no one was hurt!
In short, they’re space junk, not Space Pods. Good to know.
