NAPLES, Fla. (AP) — NASA has officially confirmed that the mysterious object that crashed through the roof of a home in Naples, Florida, last month was a piece of space debris from equipment discarded at the International Space Station.
The cylindrical object, which caused significant damage to the home on March 8, was transported to the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral for further analysis. NASA identified the object as a metal support structure that was previously used to mount old batteries on a cargo pallet for disposal.
