A NASA website devoted to sharing exceptional space pictures recently posted an amazing image of what they called "a flying saucer from outer space" that had crash-landed on Earth. Unfortunately for UFO enthusiasts, the photo was not an official declaration of an ET reality and, instead, was more of a clever turn of phrase by the space agency.
The object in question, they explained, was actually a "sample return capsule" from a project known as Genesis which orbited the sun and "collected solar wind samples." According to NASA, the 'flying saucer' had been designed to safely return to terra firma via parachutes, but wound up plummeting to the ground when they did not deploy properly.
