Debris from SpaceX rocket re-entering atmosphere recovered in Grant County
Debris from a SpaceX rocket has been recovered in Grant County Monday, according to a tweet from Grant County Sheriff Tom Jones.
Last week SpaceX debris caused a surprise light show over the Puget Sound and beyond as a Falcon 9 rocket burned up as it sped through the upper atmosphere. Long streaks of light appeared in the sky that could be seen from Seattle to Portland.
The Grant County Sheriff's office recovered a composite-overwrapped pressure vessel from private property in southwest Grant County. The sheriff's office declined to specify the exact location.

The SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket in question launched March 4, delivering 60 Starlink satellites to low-earth orbit. Starlink is a program using web satellites to provide broadband internet anywhere on the planet.
