Divers for a History Channel documentary on World War II-era ocean wreckages have instead found a large, long-missing piece of the space shuttle Challenger, which exploded and fell into the Atlantic Ocean 73 seconds after liftoff at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Jan. 28, 1986.
NASA confirmed the authenticity of the find today after viewing footage of the dive.
“While it has been nearly 37 years since seven daring and brave explorers lost their lives aboard Challenger, this tragedy will forever be seared in the collective memory of our country,” said NASA Administrator Bill Nelson in a statement. “For millions around the globe, myself included, Jan. 28, 1986, still feels like yesterday.

At NASA, the core value of safety is – and must forever remain – our top priority, especially as our missions explore more of the cosmos than ever before.”
The 20-foot piece of the shuttle was discovered by divers – exactly when is unclear – by divers filming the upcoming History Channel documentary The Bermuda Triangle: Into Cursed Waters. Though they were looking for World War II-era wreckages, the divers noticed what NASA describes as a “humanmade object covered partially by sand on the seafloor.”
