At about 3 p.m. local time, a large metallic ring weighing about 1,100 pounds and measuring 8 feet in diameter crash-landed in the village, the Kenya Space Agency said in a statement.
The agency said no one was injured, and that the space debris poses no immediate risk.
Maj. Alois Were, an officer with the Kenya Space Agency, told Citizen TV, a Kenyan news station, that the ring-like object is “possibly from a rocket separation stage.”
However, it’s unclear whose rocket the ring might belong to. Officials said they had collected pieces from the impact site for further analysis to determine its origins.
Were said that once they determine the owner, the space agency will use the “existing legal mechanisms under international law” to hold the person or organization accountable.
