A family was left stunned after discovering a crashed Samsung satellite in their backyard just days after the device was launched into the stratosphere.
The wannabe satellite in question is Samsung’s ‘SPACE SELFIE’ which was designed to allow people to send their photos into space.
As for the first person who had their selfie sent into space, the title belongs to model Cara Delevingne whose picture complemented the four-legged device which was covered in solar panels.
The satellite was discovered by homeowner Nancy Welke who created a short video claiming that the device landed on their yard.
In the photos, the Samsung logo is clearly visible along with the name of the satellite, ‘SPACE SELFIE.’
“You never know what’s gonna happen,” Merrill, Michigan-based Welke said in her video, claiming that the satellite fell from the sky around 8:45 am.
“This baby fell out of the sky and landed in our yard. It’s never boring on the Welke farm. Thank god there’s no horses out and it didn’t hit the house. And it’s still going and flashing.”
While the satellite landed in the family’s backyard, the balloon carrying it got trapped in live power lines, causing a fire hazard and resulting in locals being left without electricity for hours.
According to the reports, Samsung sent the satellite to the edge of the atmosphere to showcase the durability of the brand’s recent model, Samsung Galaxy S10 5G.
“With over 200 hours at 65,000 feet above the earth, the S10 5G will showcase the strength of Samsung’s innovations and how it continues to design products that make what was previously impossible, possible,” the tech giant wrote on their website.
