NASA unveils 14-year-old mystery

Fourteen years later, NASA, the US Space Agency, was showing photographs taken in the Utah desert for a circular object dropped from the sky and crushed to the ground, which NASA shared by posting them on Sunday on his site.

The images showed what we thought was a strange cylindrical object dropped from space, but the agency explained that it was a "plate of 39; plane. "

The plane crashed on the ground in 2004, according to Wangers, half of it in the sand of a remote and uninhabited area of ​​Utah, according to Sky News.

The aircraft was a capsule sample of the Genesys probe, which was launched into space in 2001 to obtain a solar wind sample, NASA said.

"The Genesys aircraft probe crashed from space on Earth in the Utah desert after being spotted by radar and then by helicopters and confirmed that It contained no space creatures, "NASA said on its website.

She explained that the plane's plate had fallen near the Granite Pick in Utah's training and testing area.

The probe, Genesys, gravitated around the sun and collected particles of the solar wind, which generally moved away from the Earth because of the Earth's magnetic field.

In spite of the plane crash, many samples taken were analyzed, NASA reported.

Some discoveries have been made, including new details on the structure of the sun and the abundance of different elements of the solar system, she explained, as well as on the formation of the sun and planets there are billions d & # 39; years.

NASA said the probe, Genesys, crashed due to design errors, the parachute did not take off and did not take off, so it flew to Earth at 30 km / h .
