NASA has confirmed that the object that fell into a Florida home last month was part of a battery pack released from the International Space Station.

Alejandro Otero, owner of the Naples, Florida, home struck by the debris, told Ars he is fairly certain the object came from the space station, even before NASA's confirmation.
