Australian outback farmer finds technology from outer space

[AgeGap]

James Stirton has found a helium or nitrogen tank that fell to Earth and landed on his land. May be from U.S. Solar satallite launch on Oct 26, 06. Objects identity was confirmed by Mark Rigby from the Brisbane Planetarium. James Stirton said he may sell it but has yet received no offers. I am a bit jealous.

Didn't large chunks of Skylab land in the outback? I do remember the hysteria about where it would impact.

You could buy "I am not afraid of Skylab" Helmets. Like builders hard hats with the message printed on the front. I think most of the fragments hit the ocean.

Some bits of it definately fell in Western Australia.

I can sell at least 10 pieces (5 cm x 5 cm) of Skylab for at least $50 a pop at TAM.

I'll take one right away.

I wouldn't get near it. You know ... Andromeda Strain.

I for one am planning on staying away from Western Australia. That darn germ has devastated the place, turned it into a desert.
