He discovered a pointy black object that has been measured at 10 feet tall by 1.3 feet. The object was sticking in the ground. And reminded Miners of a burned-out tree.
“Pretty frightening, actually,” Miners, 48, said. “I was quite surprised,” he added. “It’s not something you see every day on a sheep farm.”
Miners took a photo and showed it to an adjacent neighbor, Jock Wallace, who had also discovered a similarly mysterious object on his farm.
“My guess is they’ll want it back,” Miners added. “I don’t know. I don’t know anything about it. As I said, I’m a sheep farmer.”
Aussie Space Agency coordinates with SpaceX
In coordination with NASA the Australian Space Agency has identified the wreckage as likely coming from a Crew-1 mission which returned to Earth from the International Space Station.
Two pieces were physically inspected by experts from the Australian Space Agency and New South Wales Police on Saturday.
Images of the burned space junk were identified as parts of the jettisoned trunk compartment from a SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft.
