As first reported by ABC, <\/em>it is believed this debris reentered on July 9, as people in the surrounding area heard a loud bang. This was likely the debris moving at supersonic speed as it burnt through the atmosphere.<\/p>\n

Brad Tucker, an astrophysicist, went out to the farm to help identify the pieces, and identified the Dragon capsule\u2019s trunk as the likely source. This was backed up by Astronomer Jonathan McDowell, who noted that the reentry path and time all lined up for the debris to be in that area. <\/p>\n
