NASA reveals origins of bizarre 'furry UFO' that mysteriously slammed into luxury North Carolina mountaintop resort...

Falling 'space junk' has been unmasked as the culprit behind a bizarre UFO sighting this past May, which saw a large mysterious object fall from the sky onto a mountaintop resort.

The giant, foreign-looking object looked decidedly mechanical, but also appeared to covered in a strange material that appeared akin to fur.

Those were actually frayed carbon fibers, a fact already aired to DailyMail.com by Smithsonian astrophysicist Dr Jonathan McDowell days after the find.

Days ago, NASA confirmed the debris was actually part of a SpaceX satellite - the firm's Crew Dragon capsule that reached the International Space Station in 2023.

A landscaping crew working at The Glamping Collective, a mountaintop resort near Asheville in Haywood County, found a large mysterious object on May 22 that NASA confirmed is a piece of SpaceX's Crew Dragon capsule that reached the International Space Station (ISS) in 2023.

There was one large piece – about the size of a standard car hood and covered in a carbon fiber weave – found on a hiking trail, and several other smaller pieces fell in the backyards of nearby homes, according to a report by Space.com .

The objects were from the "Dragon spacecraft trunk hardware" that was "predicted to burn up fully," ABC 13 in North Carolina reported.

Other pieces of the Elon Musk-funded SpaceX 's capsule were found in Canada in February and more recently in Saudi Arabia around the time the piece in North Carolina was located, NASA said in its statement.

"NASA is unaware of any structural damage or injuries resulting from these findings," the space agency said in its statement.

A Florida family had a similar, albeit a much scarier, run-in with space junk that didn't burn up as expected.

SANTA CRUZ, CALIFORNIA "Dad, did you ever imagine that your formula would become so famous?" I ask the kind-eyed, 91-year-old person next to me on the patio. My dad, Frank Drake, is quiet for a moment. Perhaps he's thinking back to the November day 60 years ago when he unceremoniously drafted a formula that went on to shape humankind's hunt for extraterrestrial civilizations.

UFO Hunting, With Harvard Data: Astrophysicist Advocates For Scientific Investigation

Avi Loeb: Two things. In 2017, there was an object — the first one that was identified from outside the solar system that arrived close to Earth — and it didn't look like anything we've seen before. It didn't look like a comet, it didn't behave like an asteroid. Loeb: Yes. And I thought maybe it's artificial in origin. And, in fact, I wrote a book about it, Extraterrestrial, that was published six months ago. And then a month ago, there was a report delivered to Congress saying: there are things in the sky above the U.S. whose nature is not identified.
