OCRACOKE ISLAND, NJ – A 10-foot-by-6-foot piece of metal, discovered drowned in an Outer Banks beach on Monday, is courtesy of SpaceX, reports Charlotte Observer.

SpaceX took responsibility for the debris, confirming that it came from a rocket launched by Elon Musk's rocket designer and maker.

"It's a rocket material," said Chief Ranger Boone Vandzura of Cape Hatteras National Seashore in an e-mail to the observer. "He is treated appropriately."

The details of the type of rocket and the date of its launch remain unknown.

It is also unclear whether the debris accident landed on the beach or was washed away by the waves of Hurricane Michael.
