Andrew Guevara told FOX 5 DC he noticed several objects floating in the Potomac River that appeared unusual.

“I noticed that there was something. It just looked a little bit odd, but there’s a lot of trash that’s always along the river,” he said.

Guevara explained that one object appeared to resemble a tray table lever, while another looked like a leather pouch attached to what could be part of an airplane seat. “Just the curvature of the top of it—it very much looked like an airplane seat,” he said.

Alexandria police responded to the scene but later turned the investigation over to the National Transportation Safety Board. In a statement to Fox News Digital, an NTSB spokesperson confirmed the agency had taken possession of the items for further evaluation.

“The NTSB is taking possession of the item and will evaluate it and store it until it can be transferred to the remainder of the wreckage from the DCA midair accident,” the spokesperson said.

The crash occurred on January 29 when a commercial passenger plane collided with an Army helicopter in Washington, D.C., resulting in the deaths of 67 people. The wreckage has been under federal review since the accident.

In July, a Federal Aviation Administration official revealed that an air traffic controller failed to notify the crew of the passenger jet that an Army helicopter was entering its path before the collision. The failure has been cited as a contributing factor in the deadly accident.

The discovery of possible wreckage more than seven months after the crash is expected to aid investigators as they continue piecing together the sequence of events and assessing accountability.

The NTSB has not yet confirmed whether the debris is definitively linked to the January crash.

The items will be stored with the rest of the collected wreckage pending further analysis.
