NASA posts photo of crashed ‘flying saucer from outer space’

NASA posts photo of crashed ‘flying saucer from outer space’

A “flying saucer” crash landed in a Utah desert 14 years ago and now NASA is sharing pictures for the first time.

The “flying saucer” isn’t an alien spaceship though – it is the remnants of the robot spaceship Genesis that was designed to study the Sun and launched in 2001.

“The year was 2004, and no space aliens were involved,” NASA wrote on its website. “The saucer, pictured here, was the Genesis sample return capsule, part of a human-made robot Genesis spaceship launched in 2001 by NASA itself to study the Sun.”

MYSTERiOUS INTERSTELLAR OBJECT COULD BE ‘LIGHTSAIL’ FROM ANOTHER CIVILIZATION

The space agency noted that Geneisis was “being tracked by radar and chased by helicopters,” but since its parachute did not open as planned, it took an “unexpectedly hard landing,” hitting the ground at more than 300 kilometers per hour (186 mph).

Despite the hard landing, NASA said Genesis was able to capture solar wind particles that would otherwise be deflected by the planet’s magnetic field. The particles were in good enough condition to analyze, according to the space agency.

Already, NASA has learned new “new details about the composition of the Sun and how the abundance of some types of elements differ across the Solar System,” thanks to the spacecraft.

“These results have provided intriguing clues into details of how the Sun and planets formed billions of years ago,” NASA added.

INTERSTELLAR VISITOR ‘OUMUAMUA’ NEVER SHOULD HAVE LEFT HOME, THEORIES SAY

So, yes, a “flying saucer” has crashed landed on Earth and there is photographic evidence of it – it’s just not what you think.
