    Not everyone is convinced, no -

    "However, sky watching veteran and reentry tracker, Jonathan McDowell who works at the Harvard–Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, told Inside Outer Space that there is "no obvious space candidate. I am not convinced it's not from an airplane. Don’t see obvious evidence of reentry heating.""

    500 kg, 2.5 meter #object from #space crashes into Mukuku village in Makueni county, #Kenya -

    It is claimed its sound could be heard from 200 km away.

    Current identification says it is a #separation #ring from a #rocket

    (and it does in fact resemble one) -

    any experts here who recognize the make?
