A strange object fell from the sky in a Kenyan village on Monday, prompting an investigation by the country’s national space agency. The object, identified as a fragment of a space object, measures 2.5 meters wide and weighs 500 kg.
Preliminary assessments suggest it is a separation ring from a rocket. However, this is likely an isolated case, and further investigation is needed to determine its origin.
The fallen object was still hot when officers arrived on the scene and had to be cordoned off until it cooled down. The Kenya Space Agency (KSA) is analyzing the object and working to confirm where exactly it came from.
