That's titanium, I'd say.

It's an out-of-this-world mystery, a 15-inch hunk of metal and carbon plummeting into a North Carolina man's home.

The space junk has crashed to Earth recently. In March, this piece of debris crashed through a home in Naples, Florida, tearing through the roof and two floors, causing $15,000 in damage and nearly hitting the owner's son. Nasa confirmed the cylindrical object was part of a cargo pallet for the space station. And back in 2019, this pseudo satellite launched for a Samsung promotional campaign came crashing down onto a farm in Michigan. The US is tracking an estimated 45,000 objects in orbit, including nearly 19,000 pieces of space debris. Among them, this tool bag dropped by astronauts during a spacewalk. Back in North Carolina, no official word on the source of that debris, but one expert claims a SpaceX capsule may have passed over both impact sites, but SpaceX has not yet commented.
