According to the declassified CIA document, "On 10 July 1971, the third Hexagon RV was lost. The parachute failed to reef before fully deploying, and it was snapped off at the swivel. The RV entered ballistically and impacted the water with a force of approximately 2600 G's and settled in 16,000 feet of water."Newly declassified CIA documents detail how the U.S. Navy tried to recover spy satellite film that fell to the bottom of the Pacific in 1971.
