G'day Roland,

 RG> That is easy... Sky Lab...  but what radioactive object 
 RG> fell on Canada around then too?

 RG> What survived the fall to earth from Skylab?

The object that fell on Canada was a piece of a Russian space craft. It included an atomic reactor.

The time and place of the re-entry into space was forecast by a school in Kettering (I think) in the UK.

The object that survived the fall from Sky Lab, was a large metal tank. The LMT was placed in a trailer and pulled by a LandRover, was exhibited all over the State of Western Australia. 

I seem to think that some man with more money than sense bought it to take around the world to exhibit it.

ooroo
