Staff at Colchester United were stunned when a burger fell from space and landed at the club’s ground.
The frozen burger which was attached to a polystyrene box with a GoPro camera inside was found by a groundsman at Florence Park on Wednesday. And apparently, the balloon had gone to space and back.
YouTuber Tom Stanniland phoned the club to explain that the burger had been sent to space using a weather balloon.
The story was told through the club’s Twitter feed.
So as you can probably guess, the world of football isn't like any normal business at the best of times.
But what happened on Wednesday at #ColU took it to a whole new level.
