'Space Object' Found On Minnesota Farm
2 days ago
A farmer in Minnesota found a metallic object eleven feet in diameter in a cornfield.
An investigation determined it probably came from space. Not originally, though.
Most experts think it's part of a Chinese rocket that launched in September to deploy satellites.
Its first stage reportedly fell to earth over the upper Midwest.
The object matches the diameter of that part of the rocket, and could have sat in the field unnoticed for six weeks.
Debris falling from space is becoming a bigger concern as the number of rocket launches and satellites keeps going up.
