Mysterous Find In Namibia

This mysterous metal object reportedly fell out the sky in Namibia in mid-November. It was found by farmers and police officers in the remote Omusati region, about 750 km north of Windhoek. The object is described as hollow, with a diameter of about 35 cm. The weight is 6 kg. The object was found in a crater about 33 cm deep and 4 meters wide. Area residents also reported the sound of several explosions at a distance of about 3 km from where the object was found, but no other traces or objects were located.

What could this be? Maybe a tank from a crashing satellite or an upper rocket stage? Then again, the welding marks seem rather crude for a piece of space hardware.
