According to a report by The Daily Mail, Adam Borucki discovered a large metal object in his back garden. He notified emergency services, and police quickly determined it was likely debris from a space rocket. More specifically, the Falcon 9 Rocket, which launched from Vandenburg Air Force Base in California earlier this month.
Police say Borucki reported an object about 1.5 by 1 meters in size appearing on his premises overnight. This came as a shock as the object appeared despite the area being locked. Police spokesman Andrzej Borowiak explained, 'Considering the fact that the second stage of the Falcon rocket was expected to enter the atmosphere over Poland this morning, we notified the State Space Agency. We are investigating how the object ended up in this location, but the important thing is that no one was harmed.'
Per a report by The Independent, the Polish space agency suspects the rocket was carrying a payload of Starlink satellites. The outlet also suggests a second identical container was found in the Wiry Village forest roughly 19 miles away.
