I'd be very surprised if ownership wasn't retained by the operator. If
viewed as an accident scene, the rules would probably follow those of
aircraft. At the other extreme, this doesn't seem different from a car
that loses control and leaves a public street, crashing onto private
property. The owner of the property typically has no claim to the
vehicle wreckage.

I have not seen a Federal Regulation pertaining to Space craft debris. Title

only outlines the rules and laws concerning Aircraft wreckage. Good question.
We will
have to wait for 21st Century laws! 😜

Hi Marco and List,
I have a question about ownership and legality of these manmade
artifacts that fall from space and are found on private property.
What is the law regarding objects that originate from private entities?
I understand that if part of a NASA object falls on your land, that it
is still government property.
But, SpaceX is a private corporation, so would that change the legal
situation? Could a land owner keep such an object legally?
Best regards,
MikeG

I've posted some data on the Washington debris fall from last 26 March.
Radar signatures from this event persist for about two hours after the
event, and some early-arriving signatures appear to be massive objects.
The strewn field lies along a line which covers most of the state and
appears along a line which roughly connects Yakima and Spokane.
A COPV from this Falcon 9 reentry has been revovered on farmland in Grand
County, Washington:
