What is this big white ball? It crept in from my neighbor's garden. It's still on the vine. Some sort of squash or melon? An ostrich egg? What is this please? thanks

It looks like a half wild honeydew melon, Bathgate. What do the leaves look like?

Yep, it's a honeydew relative, anyway. The closest match that I can find is the Japanese sprite melon, but it may be a hybrid of many types. If it's a sprite, it should be very sweet when ripe.
