Barry Sawchuk, 66, who owns a farm near Ituna in Saskatchewan, discovered the two-metre-long charred metal object weighing about 41 kilograms on his land in late April. It turned out that the source of the space debris was Elon Musk’s SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft, and a fragment of it may have fallen as early as late February this year.
