During ATLANTIS II cruise 71 from Bermuda to Woods Hole,
a 16 by 18 foot missile was recovered about 230 miles northwest of Bermuda. The missile, labeled UNITED 22, was later identified by NASA as part of a space rocket -- specifically, an "outer lightweight installation panel." After the find was reported to NASA by Dick Edwards, a truck was promptly dispatched to Woods Hole to pick up the piece.
