According to Air Force Colonel Enmanuel Souffront Tamayo, director of the Aircraft Accident Investigation Commission, an object discovered on a beach in Higuey resembling aircraft fuselage is in fact a satellite launch capsule from Arianespace Services & Solutions, makers of satellites and based in French Guyana.
He said that they had contacted the company for confirmation, and that these parts are usually destroyed in space but on rare occasions they fall into the ocean or onto land, which is what had happened in this case.
The satellite launch capsule was found last Sunday, 25 May on Playa Blanca beach in Boca de Yuma, Higuey.
