Debby Lorinczy remembers her father as an amazing person and as a man who also made an amazing discovery.
Her father, Ernest Yergens, worked as a helicopter pilot in Northern Saskatchewan in the 1960’s.
"He worked for Gulf Oil. When he was flying one day he found this shiny object on the shore of a lake."
The shiny object turned out to be a piece of satellite, belonging to NASA. It was discovered at Wollaston Lake in 1968.
Lorinczy said the piece was eventually picked up by NASA and was later put into the National Smithsonian Museum.
"For history, he'll always be part of that,” Lorinczy added.
More than half a century later, another piece of debris, believed to be from SpaceX satellite, was found on a farm near Ituna, Sask..
