A photo from open sources
Last Sunday, November 4, on the official website American National Space Agency appeared photo with caption:
“Flying Saucer” from outer space fell in the desert of Utah after she was spotted by radars and shot down by a military helicopter.
An unusual shot really shows the debris of the device, suspiciously like a metal “alien saucer”, as if from a science fiction movie. Really NASA employees finally recognized the existence of extraterrestrial aircraft and Would you like to share with us an image of one of them?
As you might guess, many ufologists and ordinary users World Wide Web were extremely surprised and intrigued such a publication. Alas, representatives of the department quickly rushed clarify that they were just joking, but in fact we are talking about something much more prosaic.
It turns out that the sensational shot shows a capsule the Genesis spacecraft launched on August 8, 2001 to study the sun. One of the missions of the device was the collection and delivery of solar wind samples to Earth.
NASA staff then explains:
No space aliens are involved here. In front of us a fragment of a human-made robot that visited the Sun and returned to earth. Unfortunately, the capsule did not open then parachute, and she collapsed in the desert, falling to the surface of the earth with speeds in excess of 300 kilometers per hour.
