...the item is now believed to be a rocket booster from NASAs Surveyor 2 mission which crash landed on the Moon in 1966...
Of course, theres still a chance that 2020 SO is actually an asteroid, in which case it would be considered a minimoon while in direct orbit around the Earth. However, an old rocket booster finding would merely be considered space junk and join the 57,000-plus pieces of human debris currently being tracked by various entities.
One astronomers space trash is a vintage space collectors treasure? You decide. You can watch more on NASAs Surveyor missions below:...

Skylab reached Earth in the early morning hours of July 12, 1979, falling in pieces in the small town of Esperance, Australia, a remote spot seven-and-a-half hours away from Perth by car. ... The town of Esperance issued a $400 fine to the United States for littering.

TheDoomsday Machine...
” The device cannot be deactivated, as it is programmed to explode if any such attempt is made. When the President’s wheelchair-bound scientific advisor, the former Nazi German Dr. Strangelove, points out that such a doomsday machine would only be an effective deterrent if everyone knew about it, de Sadeski replies that the Soviet Premier had planned to reveal its existence to the world the following week.”
