<p>In another incident of falling space junk from the sky, a massive metal piece of space debris suddenly fell on a farm and was found by a farmer in Saskatchewan, Canada.</p>

<p>The heavy piece of charred metal, which weighed 40 kilogrammes, was suspected to belong to space debris, with multiple layers of burned composite fibres and webbing, reported CBC.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“But I had no idea. I don’t build spaceships for a living. I farm,” said farmer Barry Sawchuk, while speaking to CBC.</p>
