US space agency Nasa confirmed that an object that crashed into a home in Florida earlier this month was part of the International Space Station (ISS).
The metal object was jettisoned from the orbiting outpost in March 2021, Nasa said on Monday after analysing the sample at the Kennedy Space Center.
The 1.6lb (0.7kg) metal object tore through two layers of ceiling after re-entering Earth’s atmosphere.
Homeowner Alejandro Otero said his son was nearly injured by the impact.
Nasa said the object was part of some 5,800lbs of hardware that was dumped by the station after it had new lithium-ion batteries installed.
2 things come to mind:
Roy Sullivan the Park Ranger
and
[UFO lore] The Colares Incident, where whatever it was, the people who were attacked and lived refused to smoke outside or wear certain colored clothes for the rest of their lives, for fear it attracted the suck suck.
