Potential Space Debris Re-entry Over East Africa Prompts Warning

The Kenya Space Agency has warned Kenyans about a potential re-entry of a strange object from space.

The Space Agency, in a statement on Friday, April 18, 2025, stated that the object is of particular interest to Kenya as the project flight trajectory is over the East African region.

According to the Agency, the object could fall in Kenya either from the North Eastern Region to the South East of the country towards Tanzania and further to the South.

Kenyans have therefore been urged to take great caution as the object is predicted to fall in the region between Saturday, April 19, at around 7:29 am and Sunday, April 20, at around 3:01 pm.

The Space Agency further cautioned that the object, which is of unknown weight, could pose a significant risk to people’s lives and property along its path due to its large size.

“While the debris is not expected to fall in Kenya, KSA, out of an abundance of caution, wishes to advise members of the public to be vigilant and be on the lookout for potential debris shopping from or flying through the sky within the specified period”, the Agency stated.

They further urged Kenyans to report a dropping of any space debris to the security agencies through the nearest police station, national government administrative office or military camp for necessary action.
