Residents of Poland and Ukraine witnessed significant debris, including large charred fragments, from a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket re-entering Earth’s atmosphere.
Similar sightings occurred from England to Denmark, prompting concerns over the increasing frequency of space debris incidents as SpaceX’s launch activities intensify.
Orbital debris poses a growing risk, with large pieces occasionally surviving atmospheric re-entry, despite most burning up. The issue is global, with the Caribbean and Kenya experiencing debris showers, highlighting the widespread nature of the problem.

The Sign of the Time is written on the Mayan Calendar. A Global Communications space race is on with SpaceX initiative to launch 1,826 rockets carrying 22 satellites each, and China’s plans to match the same pace.
