Dr Alice Gorman, an expert in the field of space archaeology, said she believes the object is a fuel cylinder that came from the the third stage of India’s Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle rocket, as many have suggested on social media. https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2023/jul/17/mystery-object-wa-beach-green-head-western-australia

Usual rules for rocket crashes apply - if there's any red coloration, then treat it as toxic (hypergolics) - hopefully any fuel is already washed out by the sea
