Ah yes, the manhole cover made in Neenah, Wisconsin. Probably the furthest man made object from Earth at this point for sure.
The article says "Scientists believe compression heating caused the cap to vaporize as it sped through the atmosphere."
This, and Chris Waddle’s penalty kick for England against West Germany in the 1990 World Cup semi final.
It's unlikely it kept it though the atmosphere. But it's possible it was traveling so fast it didn't even have time to vaporize.
