Residents of Thika and Kangundo districts today experienced a rare natural occurence when they saw several bright objects fall from the sky. One of the objects landed in the ground near the Ol Donyo Sabuk Mountain in Thika, which is also known as Kilimambogo. Eyewitnesses described it as resembling a rock, suggesting that it is a meteorite or space rock. Locals say they heard a loud sound like a falling airplane and saw the burning object fall to the ground at about 10am today. Military officials arrived in the area and took away the object for analysis.
