Today, on April 5th, the topic of "International Space Station battery falling and damaging a house" rapidly surged to the top of the trending charts.
According to reports, a resident of Florida, USA, revealed that on March 8th, a metal cylinder suddenly pierced through the roof of their home, continuing through the floor, penetrating both levels.
The resident stated that although he was not at home at the time, his son was present; fortunately, the metal object did not cause any injuries to anyone.
Preliminary analysis suggests that this metallic object may have originated from the International Space Station.
Josh Finch, a spokesperson for NASA, stated that engineers are conducting an analysis on this cylindrical metal block weighing close to 1 kilogram to determine its specific origin as soon as possible.
It is worth noting that the European Space Agency (ESA) issued a safety alert on March 7, warning that 9 decommissioned batteries from the International Space Station, totaling 2.6 metric tons, were expected to re-enter the Earth's atmosphere the following day.
