Fear not. Watermelons do not fall from trees.

Anything "alien" would've melted while falling from space, burst in the atmosphere from air friction, or shattered on impact. Even space rocks seldom make it to the ground, and preciuos little of them remains.
I think, given their soil-smeared aspect, they've probably been made by the wind rolling an original nucleus/object on the ground, creating low density snowballs.
Just my amateurish hypothesis, I'm no meteorologist.

Definitely an unusual phenomenon anyway. Must've been some pretty strong whirling winds, and probably lasting ones to roll some of the biggest balls.

Or maybe kids rolled them. I'm pretty sure the post is a joke.

They are the eggs from which snowmen hatch.

you can see a trail of bare earth leading up to most of them, they have rolled to where they are one way or another

Time to factor a god in???

No misunderstandings here, please.
I do admire creation, and I like the idea of a god, or of God.
What amuses me is how the idea of a god is presently handled by mankind - a few of them seem to know him/Him even in person (addressing him/Him "Sir", maybe?).
Yet I think we're all in the process of re-considering our ancient believes.
My comment is also a small aftermath of some recent threads in Eo's blog concerning the very same subject.

May God bless you (I mean it).
And also a good start into the brand new week!
