A third mysterious black space object to fall from the sky into rural Spain has caused panic among locals.
The strange-looking black orb was found in the village of Villavieja in Murcia - becoming the latest instance of an increasingly bewildering phenomenon, the Olive Press reported.
It's not yet known what the objects are, though theories range from UFOs to pieces of space debris.
The first instance of the strange phenomenon occurred one week ago, when Spanish goat farmers discovered the strange object, which bears a striking resemblance to the Star Wars torture device, the IT-O Interrogator, in Calasparra, Murcia.
The Civil Guard were called to investigate the black orb and the area was subsequently put under quarantine. Pictured is the second object to be found in the village earlier this week
A local community manager deduced that the object appears to be a composite overwrapped pressure vessel, possibly from a space station

The men alerted the Civil Guard to investigate and the area was subsequently put under quarantine.
Although the mystery object was not said to be dangerously radioactive or explosive, it was taken away for further analysis.
Local news site El Pais reported that researchers have said that the object may be a pressurised gas container, which fell to earth from space.
The Civil Guard stated the object was an aerospace artefact and pointed to the possibility that it fell from a rocket or a satellite.
However, a few days later a second orb fell from the sky.
According to The Mirror, Jose Velez, the mayor of Calasparra, implored authorities to provide answers to worried residents.
'Where are these objects coming from? Why are they falling here precisely?'
Claiming it was a more concerning issue than the authorities were letting on, he added: 'Citizens have real concerns about what is happening and deserve an explanation.'
The IT-O Interrogator is a droid that made an appearance in a number of Star Wars books and films.
Purposefully intimidating, the orb was used as a device to get information from prisoners using elaborate and scientific torture methods.
