A camera captured footage of space debris falling in the U.S., with experts explaining the cause (includes photos and videos).

A resident of Fort Atkinson in the American state of Minnesota captured a video on a security camera showing an unidentified object resembling space debris falling from space. The video was uploaded to the ViralHog portal on YouTube.

American resident Tom shared the video, noting that he stumbled upon the footage while reviewing the security camera recordings and witnessed the unusual phenomenon.

"My camera recorded space debris entering Earth's atmosphere last night," the local resident stated.

The footage clearly shows the descent of the unidentified object on the evening of January 28 of this year. Initially, something resembling the head of a "comet" gradually comes into view, increasing in size.

After a few seconds, it becomes more distinct, but within moments it seems to "fade" away, eventually disappearing entirely from the security camera's lens. It remains uncertain which space object may have fallen or burned up in Earth's atmosphere that evening.

Earlier, Wisc 12 News reported that locals near the state capital of Milwaukee also witnessed the fall of an "unknown object." Subsequently, experts unanimously declared that it was indeed space debris that had fallen.

At the same time, specialists from the University of Madison in Minnesota believe that this space debris is "remnants" of the Starlink-5693 rocket. According to aerospace.org, the trajectory of the space debris matched the expected re-entry path of Starlink-5693.

Starlink-5693 was launched on February 2, 2023, from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The vehicle is part of the SpaceX Starlink project, which provides high-speed internet via a constellation of satellites.

It was previously reported that a giant ring from space fell on a village in Kenya. The half-ton space ring miraculously missed hitting a building or home; otherwise, it would have been a disaster.

Subsequently, information emerged regarding the chances of a person being killed by satellite debris. Space debris has become a significant issue for astronomers in recent decades, cluttering Earth's orbit. People below are also affected by falling debris. However, statistics have their own claims regarding the likelihood of such debris falling on our heads.
