Makueni Space Object: Kenya, Other Countries Where Rocket Parts Mistakenly Fell

The article from Tuko.co.ke discusses an incident where parts of a rocket, mistakenly identified as a UFO, fell in Makueni County, Kenya. On January 11, 2024, residents of Makueni were alarmed by a loud explosion and the sight of a mysterious object in the sky, which was later identified as debris from a rocket. The Kenya Space Agency (KSA) confirmed that these were remnants from a Long March 4B rocket launched by China, which had re-entered Earth's atmosphere and disintegrated, with parts landing in Kenya. This event caused panic among locals, with some believing it to be an alien invasion or a sign of the apocalypse. The KSA reassured the public that such occurrences are not uncommon and emphasized the need for public education on space debris to prevent future panic. The article also touches on the broader implications of space debris and the need for international cooperation in managing space traffic.
