The object – which was part of the SpaceX Crew-1 craft – was found in a sheep paddock by a farmer living on a large property in the Snowy Mountains.
Farmer Mick Miners said he discovered the space junk, which resembled a tree from a distance, after his family heard a loud bang.
Neighboring farmer Jock Wallace also reported a similar foreign object that had torpedoed into his land. Upon investigation, Australian National University space expert Brad Tucker was called by authorities to inspect the object. Australian farmer Mick Miners said he discovered the space junk, which resembled a tree from a distance, after his family heard a loud bang.“SpaceX has this capsule that takes humans into space, but there is a bottom part … so when the astronauts come back, they leave the bottom part in space before the capsule lands.”Tucker said the craft was originally planned to break apart and land in the ocean.
