The cylindrical object, found on Thursday in Kachin state, is 4.5m (15ft) long and 1.2m wide.
Another piece of metal with Chinese writing on it tore through the roof of a nearby house at about the same time, but no injuries were reported.
It is thought that the incident might be related to the launch of a Chinese satellite.

Local residents reported hearing a loud bang before the object landed.
Officials from the local Defence Service said it bounced 150ft (50m) and landed in a muddy area of the mine, according to the Global New Light of Myanmar newspaper.
"We were all afraid of that explosion," villager Ko Maung Myo told the Myanmar Times. "Initially, we thought it was a battle. The explosion made our houses shake. We saw the smoke from our village."
He said that the air near the object smelled acrid.
"The metal objects are assumed to be part of a satellite or the engine parts of a plane or missile," Global New Light reported.

Anyone know if these are as valuable as a meteorite that goes through your roof or hits your car?

Cankles suppository, from the butthurt, blown clear.
That looks like a laser strike spot in the middle
Well, I guess if your space debris needs to fall somewhere, Myanmar is one of the countries in the world least able to do anything about it. :)

Vandenberg AFB near Lompoc, CA? Nice place.
