“Estimated wreckage of the SpaceX Crew Dragon launched in November 2020”
In the fierce competition for space exploration, the possibility of debris falling on the ground increases

(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Sang-Hyun Park = Monsters of unusual shapes that were not normally seen on a secluded farm in southern Australia are becoming a hot topic.
The objects that look like alien structures are likely the remains of the ‘Crew Dragon’ of SpaceX, an American space company led by Elon Musk.
According to foreign media such as ABC and The Guardian on the 2nd, astrophysicist Brad Tucker working at the Australian National University recently received a call from a sheep farm owner in Dalgetty, New South Wales, Australia that he had found something that looked like something charred.
Tucker had often received calls before, saying he had found the wreckage of a space projectile, but he sensed something different this time around.
“At first it was like a burnt tree, it was like an alien obelisk,” he said.
Tucker cited evidence in support of his view that a synthetic material capable of withstanding high heat was used, and that one object had a number supposed to be the number of the accessory.
Tucker speculates that these objects came off during the re-entry of SpaceX’s Crew Dragon, which was launched in November 2020, into Earth’s atmosphere.
In this regard, in Australia, on the 9th of last month, an aircraft was caught spitting fire and flying at high speed over the southeastern region from Canberra to Bendigo.
“There are many instances of projectile debris going down into the sea, but very few of them fall into habitable areas,” Tucker said.

Despite the ongoing controversy over the identity of the monster, SpaceX has not responded to Tucker’s claim.
The Australian Aeronautics and Space Administration (ASA) is also cautious. An official from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration said, “We are conducting an investigation to determine the nature of the object.”
As the competition for space exploration intensifies, the number of projectiles launched by each country increases, and accordingly, the possibility of projectile debris falling to the ground is increasing.
Recently, it was reported that the wreckage of a Chinese-launched Changjeong-5B crashed into the sea in the southwest of the Philippines. The wreckage weighed 24.5 tons, making it the heaviest man-made object that fell uncontrolled in over 30 years.
Dr. Sarah Webb, who agrees with the view that the monster is a remnant of the SpaceX Crew Dragon, told The Guardian, “The task of locating the space debris has become important.”
