I. Read the article and choose the best answer:

Something strange falls from the sky

Mikayla Shears was riding her horse across the fields at the farm where she and her parents live
in Australia last November, when she saw something very strange on the ground. ‘at first, I was
afraid to touch it!’, she said. ‘I thought something may jump out of t!’. It was a 22-kilo ball of
lots of different metal parts.
Mikayla called her dad and he came in a truck and drove back to the farmhouse. People don’t
drive hundreds of miles across the desert area to leave a metal ball
in the middle of a field. ‘It dropped from above!’, he said. ‘I am sure of it!’

Mikayla’s father emailed a photo of the ball

to the Planet Museum. He was told that the ball was possibly part of a rocket. Two days earlier a
rocket was used to fly an American satellite into space to study the sun. Most of it fell into the
sea after the satellite was safely in space, but maybe this
part didn’t. ‘I know a lot about cows and sheep’, Mikayla said, ‘but I don’t know anything about
rockets. I want to find out more about them now. Perhaps I’ll be an astronaut one day’.
