Subscriber only From a UFO to a piece of the ill-fated flight MH17 - these were just some of the theories people offered up when an unidentified black object washed ashore at Seaforth Beach. The Seaforth Community Noticeboard Facebook group blew up with comments after a member posted photos of the strange object on Tuesday morning. Some suggested it could be a nose cone off a UFO, a helicopter fuel tank or even a whale s stackhat . But thanks to Maritime Safety Queensland, the mystery has finally been solved. MSQ general manager Angus Mitchell said marine officers attended the site Tuesday morning and retrieved what appeared to be a large plastic tank.
