I saw the fragment on the local news. Shredded carbon fiber and other mystery materials flapping in the wind, stabbed into a parched, rolling plain. A lot of fuss is made when China's space debris makes landfall, but this event elicited only mild amusement from our mainstream media. The farmer who found it eventually noted that if it had gone and hit anyone, they'd be in trouble. Something seems a bit negligent about the ad-hoc nature of the entire thing to me.
