A large metallic ring weighing about 1,100 pounds and measuring 8 feet in diameter crash-landed in Mukuku Village, Kenya.

Kenyan officials are investigating the origins of the space debris, which is possibly from a rocket separation stage.

The Kenya Space Agency has collected samples of the debris for further analysis to determine its ownership.

Space debris is designed to burn up in Earth's atmosphere, but sometimes it reaches the ground, posing risks.

The number of orbital rocket launches has increased significantly, contributing to space debris and potential collisions.
