Original Note:
There is no verified evidence of Skylab killing a cow. This misconception might stem from a 1979 New York Times article about Skylab re-entry, which mentioned a separate incident in 1961 in which a cow in Cuba was killed by debris from a failed rocket launch: https://www.nytimes.com/1979/07/08/archives/nasa-is-ready-for-the-inevitable-sort-of.html
