The military is currently investigating the origins of a large, metallic, circular object that’s washed up on shore at Green Head, just north of Jurien Bay.

The strange cylinder was first discovered on Saturday but was not reported to police until Sunday afternoon.

Local Green Head resident Garth Griffiths told Millsy and Karl the discovery of the strange object was a break in the normal routine in the Mid West town.

“As you can imagine word spreads pretty quickly out here… it was a pretty exciting moment,” Mr Griffiths said.
