Musk's statement comes almost a week after a footage of the explosion was released. The much-debated footage appears to show a small black object flying near the rocket just as the explosion occurred.

Musk has suggested that the explosion could be a work of aliens. Since the explosion happened really fast, the SpaceX technical team could reportedly not find the exact fault that led to the ultimate failure of the rocket.

In other news, the Pentagon is reportedly showing interest in the UK's UFO hunting team, which operates from London's Soho Square. The unit is said to be funded by the US and now has US staff working along with the Britons in the squad.
