Agents rushed to crash of giant object from space: "We don't get much information"

A farmer in Minnesota found a charred metal object over three meters in diameter in his cornfield. Authorities called in federal agencies, but even the local sheriff complains he is not being kept in the loop. A tech investigation suggests it is likely a remnant of a Chinese rocket.

A farmer in Minnesota discovered a charred metal object approximately 3.35 meters in diameter in his cornfield, likely space debris. Federal authorities were called to the scene, but the local sheriff, Jason Dingmann, complained that he is not receiving sufficient information from the investigating agencies. The object was found on October 14, about a month after its estimated fall. An investigation by Ars Technica suggests it is likely a remnant of a Chinese rocket, model Zhuque-2E, manufactured by LandSpace, which was launched on September 15. The diameter of the rocket's upper stage matches the object's diameter exactly. However, no official confirmation has been published. Sheriff Dingmann was quoted as saying he believes someone at higher levels knows what the object is but is not sharing the information. Local resident Tena Wilts said she saw the object and initially thought it was something blown by a tornado.
