> There were initially concerns about potentially dangerous toxins leaking from the object if it was found to be part of a rocket.
From the photo - the object is a cylindrical tank, with a huge hole in one badly-damaged end of it. It was adrift at sea long enough for barnacles to be growing over much of its surface.
IANARS (not a rocket scientist)...but I'd bet that there are absolutely zero carried-in-tanks-on-rockets toxins which are barnacle-friendly. Ditto ones which would not have been washed away in the first hour of the sea water sloshing in & out of that big hole. And IIR, the intersection of two empty sets is also empty.
