A large piece of debris that appears to be part of a rocket washed ashore on Fort Lauderdale Beach Sunday morning.
The object appeared to have the markings of the European Union's Galileo satellite.
Beachgoers discovered the metal piece behind the Sun Tower Hotel, located at 2030 North Ocean Boulevard.
Dozens of on-lookers took pictures of the bizarre beach find, until a tractor was brought over to tow the piece of debris off the beach.
How the metal fragment ended up on the beach is under investigation.
