A family of fifth generation farmers from Ituna, Sask. are recipients of what could be part of a satellite or something that re-entered because it's all torched. Its aluminum honeycomb sandwiched between carbon fibre composite carbon, now begs the question of its carbon footprint.

Chris Rutkowski, a science writer out of the University of Manitoba, told the story of a bizarre object making landfall in Saskatchewan back in the 1960’s.
"Wollesten Lake in 1968, a hunter found something kind of like that. It was a little more metallic but it turned out to have
been a part of a satellite, possibly even Canada’s own Alouette satellite.”
"It could be part of a thermal blanket that is used to insulate the satellite as they are going up. Not necessarily the rocket
itself but some of the insulation that protects it on going up,” Rutkowski added.
According to an ABC News report from 2022, officials with the Australian Space Agency investigated a three
metre piece of debris that was discovered on a sheep farm.
It was believed to be part of a SpaceX rocket.
On Dec 1, 2017 U.S. Strategic Command confirmed a spectacular fireball witnessed in Saskatchewan
and Alberta was the part of the Antares rocket.
So, space junk. via
