Incredible Moment Man Finds Space Rocket Debris on Remote Island | Space

When exploring the beach during a vacation, you might expect to find some fascinating rocks or creatures near the sea. But one tourist was left stunned by the unexpected aerospace discovery he made during a snorkeling trip.

Mike Irmen was on vacation in Honduras last month when he visited nearby Cayos Cochinos to go snorkeling with his family. He heard that the area was incredible and wanted to see it for himself. However, it became even more memorable after discovering a huge piece of debris in the sand.

Irmen, of Dayton, Ohio explained to Newsweek that, as they were preparing to go into the water, he spotted something in the rocks and sand. When he got closer, he “knew it was something aerospace,” but wasn’t sure exactly what it could be.

As luck would have it, Irmen is an aerospace engineer, so the sight of this debris from a rocket was “super cool” for him personally. After sweeping away some of the sand, he saw the Arianespace logo, leading Irmen to believe this was part of the upper cowling of a rocket.

Newsweek reached out to Arianespace for comment…
