Space puzzle in Kenya: metal ring falls in the village and causes excitement!
In the southern Kenya, a dramatic incident causes excitement: a heavy metal ring that obviously comes from space has a weight of around 500 kilograms in the village of Mukuku. According to the Kenyan space agency, the Kenya Space Agency (KSA), it is part of a rocket that fell into the village on Monday. The ring -shaped dividing mechanism has a diameter of about two and a half meters. "Preliminary investigations indicate that the fallen object is a separation ring of a carrier rocket," said the KSA, which has already caused the recovery of the debris, to examine the mysterious object more closely, as well as the Kleine Zeitung reported.
individual case with historical parallels
Surprisingly, similar incidents have caused a stir in the past. In April 2022, metal parts were discovered in India, which had also fallen from the sky and were identified as the remains of a Chinese rocket. The space agency in Kenya emphasized that this event was an isolated case and is not a risk of public security. "The dividing ring should have burned out the earth's atmosphere when entering the earth's atmosphere or falling into uninhabited areas," said a spokesman for the KSA. In the past, as in 2020 during an incident on the Ivory Coast, damage to property occurred, but fortunately there were no injuries or dead.
The Kenyans are now excited to see what further knowledge from the examination of the metal ring is obtained and whether this incident could have an impact on future spatial research projects. The KSA has assured that all the necessary steps are taken to clarify the background of this unusual event.
