It appeared to be in orbit around the Earth, and was soon discovered from spectral analysis to be covered in white titanium dioxide, which was a major constituent of the paint used on the Saturn V. Calculation of orbital parameters led to tentative identification as being the Apollo 12 S-IVB stage.
Čini se da se nalazi u orbiti oko Zemlje, a uskoro je otkriveno iz spektralne analize da je pokriven bijelim titan dioksidom, koji je bio glavni sastojak boje korištene na Saturnu V. Izračunavanje orbitalnih parametara doveo je do identifikacije kao Apollo 12 S-IVB stupnja.
