Story summary

Agents rushed to a Minnesota farm in Scott Township on October 14, 2026, after receiving a call about a "foreign" object found in a cornfield. Authorities discovered an 11-foot-diameter metallic object that they believe may be space debris. The object was scorched along its underside and appeared to have been in the field for at least six weeks based on the size of the surrounding corn. Local farmers reported finding it while harvesting their fields. Federal agencies were alerted, and the object has since been moved to a secure location as authorities work with state officials to identify its owner and arrange removal from the site. Authorities found serial numbers on the object that could help trace ownership.
