Youtuber sends Big Mac into space, eats it after it returns to earth
Youtuber sends Big Mac into space, eats it after it returns to earth. Sharrie Williams reports during Action News at 4 p.m. on March 29, 2019.

It's an out of this world tale, involving a Big Mac, a trip to space and a British soccer team.

Earlier this week, staff members from Colchester United FC found a contraption consisting of a styrofoam box, a parachute, and a frozen hamburger on their field.

While the baffled team managers tried to figure out what to do with the strange package, they got a call from a popular Youtuber who goes by the name Killem.

Killem, also known as Tom Stanniland, sent a Big Mac into space on a weather balloon, documenting the whole journey via GoPro.

He was able to track his gravity-defying dinner to the team's field, thanks to a GPS tracking device attached to the box.

So what did the amateur scientist do when reunited with his spaceburger?

The 29-year-old ate it, of course. He called the interstellar snack "dry, powdery and a bit frozen."
