MAKUENI UFO OBJECT: KSA Reveals Details Of The Metallic Item Fallen From The Sky
The Kenya Space Agency (KSA) on Wednesday explained an occurrence in which a metallic item fell from the sky and landed in Mukuku Village, Mukuku Sublocation, Nduluku Location, Waia Division, Mbooni East Sub-County, Makueni County.
The incident occurred on December 30, 2024.
The mystery metallic object plummeted from the sky and landed about two kilometres from Mukuku Police Post, causing villagers to panic as they pondered what it was and where it came from.
The Agency stated that the object, a metallic ring about 2.5 meters in diameter and weighing about 500 kilograms, is a part of a space object.
“Preliminary assessments indicate that the fallen object is a separation ring from a launch vehicle (rocket).”
“Such objects are usually designed to burn up as they re-enter the Earth’s atmosphere or to fall over unoccupied areas, such as the oceans,” KSA said in a statement.
