Barry Sawchuk is not alone in the space junk universe.

The Saskatchewan farmer who made headlines earlier this month when he reported a giant piece of space debris had slammed into his field now says his neighbours are also reporting close encounters with orbital debris.

“There’s other pieces here,” said Sawchuk, for farms near Ituna, northeast of Regina.

“There are neighbours that have them, too. There’s seven pieces that I know of right now, and there could be more any day.
