A farmer in rural Saskatchewan, Canada, was shocked to find a chunk of spacecraft debris in his field.

Barry Sawchuk, a 66-year-old farmer near Ituna, discovered the 7-foot-wide, 90-pound scorched metal object in late April.

It is believed to be a part of a SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft that reentered Earth’s atmosphere in February.

Astrophysicist Jonathan McDowell from Harvard identified the debris as likely from the Dragon Trunk section of the Axiom 3 mission, which reentered over Saskatchewan on February 26, Newsweek has reported.

This incident highlights the growing issue of space debris, with over 35,000 pieces larger than 4 inches currently orbiting Earth, largely due to the increase in satellites, especially from SpaceX’s Starlink network.

Most space debris burns up upon reentry, but larger pieces can survive and crash to Earth.
