Nuke. I'd say of Iranian origin from what I'm seeing.

In all seriousness, what is that second picture? Is that down inside of it? From the top pic, it looks like the back end is capped.

Looks to be the remnants of one of those plots James Bond foiled.

Either nuke or chemical. Or it could be coronavirus cure. I seen this movie and it doesn't end well.

artillery shell, that green sphere looks LOOKS like it might be one of the shells to use to mark a target, Probably just makes a lot of smoke, or a flare that lights up the target area.
That's just a guess of course, its in horrible shape. Looks like the rounds they used to fire at Fort Sill though.

Hard to get a sense of the scale, but that looks maybe 7" in diameter, and 2-1/2 feet long? If so, then that is a REALLY BIG artillery shell.
With all that corrosion, no way that thing can be anywhere close to stable. Keep your shovels and heavy equipment away.

Probably an old crapper tank like in the movie Joe Dirt.
Don't get the poo on you.
