irst came across a strange, charred object on his ranch, south of Jindabyne, in the Snowy Mountains, New South Wales on July 25.Another piece was also discovered by his neighbor, Jock Wallace.
When a rocket is launched, parts of the craft break away from the main payload and fall back down to Earth. Most of these pieces burn up when the hit the atmosphere, however some large pieces may remain intact. These pieces usually land in the ocean, which makes up two thirds of the Earth's surface. But on occasion, they can hit land.
Brad Tucker, a Canberra-based astrophysicist and cosmologist, believes the debris is from the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft, from the Crew-1 Trunk. He visited the scene of the debris to inspect it, which heby Tucker show the charred objects stuck in the ground. The ground appears blackened beneath the objects.
