I'm guessing that you were answered by Oswald Mosley, a man with nothing to say and no trouble proving it. I think you've scored a direct hit with this one.

It's a target drone, and the article in your pictures is probably the sustainer engine (the bigger thrust chamber must give it the initial boost up to speed, but it would burn a lot of fuel). Propellants are identified as liquid oxygen and kerosene. At least five thousand of these drones have been manufactured since 1959. Even allowing for the number that must have splashed into the oceans, it seems likely that one of them could have landed in the Skylab Parking Lot. --Bill Thompson Unfortunately, the motor is still in the US. The current 'owner' is quite happy with his purchase, and is fairly sure that it's legal - but until he's totally sure, he wants to keep quiet about it.
