The 66-year-old Saskatchewan farmer is much more focused on seeding.
Sawchuk, who farms with his three sons near Ituna, northeast of Regina, was checking out the moisture in his fields at the end of April when he spotted the item.It looked like a burned-up piece of carbon fibre with aluminum honeycombed in between, he said. There also appeared to be a hydraulic cylinder in the debris.“We knew it came from the sky, because it couldn't get there by itself,” Sawchuk said.The family thought it was a fun conversation starter.
McDowell posted on social media that the re-entry trajectory for the trunk section of the spacecraft passed within a few kilometres of where the large object was found in the field.The Transportation and Safety Board of Canada confirmed there were no reports of aircraft that could explain the object.
