NASA equipment the size of a car landed on a field in Texas

A car-sized piece of equipment from the National Aerospace Administration for Aeronautics and Space Exploration (NASA) landed on a field in Texas. This was reported on October 10 by ABC News channel.

It is reported that Ann Walter, a rural resident from West Texas, discovered a mysterious object in the sky, and later she found scientific equipment about the size of a sports car attached to a massive parachute with NASA stickers in the field.

"It's crazy because when you stand on the ground and see something in the air, you don't realize how big it is. <...> It was probably a 9-meter parachute. It was huge," said an eyewitness.

It is clarified that when Walter called the local police department, she was told that NASA was indeed looking for the missing equipment. In addition, NASA's Columbia Research Balloon Complex, which launches research balloons, informed a resident that the complex had launched in New Mexico the day before.
