What fell from the sky in Makueni?
Many have assumed that it could be a chance thing, while others have called on the authorities to take action and determine what it is.
Alutah:
“This circular metal object fell from the sky in Mbooni Makueni forest today. From a similar event in Chandrapur, India in April 20222, this space debris is a piece of rocket from the re-entry stage.
Ryshker:
“It could be space debris—debris from satellites or rockets that remain re-entering. Most burn up in space, but chunks sometimes reach Earth.”
Fwama NC Fwamba:
“Maybe space debris from a dead satellite or rocket, it made a strange noise when it came down. The authorities should investigate for safety and analysis.”
Tinah Millionaire:
“This is an alien plane.”
Steffy MamakeSam:
“That's a UFO.”
