The wreckage of a Chinese rocket exploded in the Indian skies with a sudden fire in the dark night sky. Initially, many people in Maharashtra, Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh saw Agulen balls falling to the ground, piercing the sky. At first many people thought it was a meteorite but on seeing the fire in the sky a round object and a ring crashed in Chandrapur district of Maharashtra. Experts believe it is the wreckage of a rocket launched by China in 2021
Jonathan McDowell, an astronomer at the Center for Astrophysics, tweeted: “I believe this is due to the Chinese rocket’s re-entry into Earth’s atmosphere. Third stage of Chang Zheng 3B serial number Y6. Launch in February 2021 was done. Hopefully it will be back in the next few hours and the path has been well chosen.”
An ISRO scientist on condition of anonymity said: “I believe it was probably a Chinese CZ-3B because its time and location matched the US Space Command’s forecast.” At least it is clear from the statements of many experts that this event was not a cosmic event. Instead, the rockets used in the satellite launch struck Indian soil.
