atmosphere of a FALCON 9 R/B launch vehicle stage occurred over the territory of Poland” came from the Space X Starlink Group 11-4 mission which took off from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California on 1 February 2025,” added POLSA “The flight trajectory of this object was known to POLSA and the services responsible in Europe for monitoring the risk of artificial space objects entering the Earth’s atmosphere.” a spokesman for the police force in Poznań told the Polish Press Agency (PAP) that at 9:20 a.m they had been notified that an unidentified object had been found on the premises of a company in Komorniki a village that is part of the Poznań metropolitan area “We are securing the scene,” said the spokesman “Firefighters and police officers from the pyrotechnic reconnaissance group are working there…[to] explain the circumstances of how this object ended up on the premises of the company.” “We know that debris from a Falcon missile flew over Poland but whether this is part of it – we are not able to confirm this at the moment,” he added also noting that no one had been injured by the object The director of the facility where the object was discovered told news website Interia that it is around one-and-a-half metres (five feet) long and looks like a “tank wrapped in foil with a piece of pipe sticking out” says that the object “looks almost identical to a fragment of

debris had crash-landed on his property Flabbergasted by the discovery, he called the police in the nearby city of Poznan, the BBC reported then determined that the 3-by-5-foot object was from a Falcon 9 rocket manufactured by Elon Musk’s company SpaceX Police also said that a similar piece of debris was found near the village of Wiry The rocket was launched Feb. 1 from Vandenberg Space Force Base in Santa Barbara County and carried 22 Starlink satellites into orbit, according to a statement from POLSA The Falcon 9 rocket is designed to transport people and cargo into space and then safely reenter Earth’s atmosphere However, at 4:46 a.m. local time Wednesday, the second stage of the rocket made an uncontrolled reentry over Poland, POLSA said. During this time, fragments of the rocket burning up as fireballs could be seen in the skies over the country, according to the Polish Press Agency and videos shared on social media Nad ranem nad Polską można było zaobserwować tajemnicze rozbłyski.

This is a high-strength container used to store helium gas, which is critical for pressurizing the rocket’s propellant tanks and ensuring proper fuel flow to its engines. UCLA astronomy professor Edward Wright told The Times it was likely that an engine or controls failure prevented the second stage from reentering Earth’s atmosphere in a controlled manner and making a routine landing in the Pacific Ocean. Most of the rocket combusted in the intense heat created by the friction of hurtling through the atmosphere at 18,000 mph, he said. McDowell noted that this was the fourth recent problematic incident with the SpaceX Falcon. “So far, we’ve been lucky and no one has been hurt,” he told the BBC, “but the more we put into the Earth’s orbit, the more likely it is that our luck will run out.” World & Nation The odds of asteroid 2024 YR4 hitting Earth has jumped from more than 1% to 3% and back down to 1.5% The Falcon 9 holds the record for the highest number of launches and reuses in U.S. history. It has made 391 landings since its launch in 2010, according to SpaceX. The company did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the debris found in Poland.

It was around that time that a Space X Falcon 9 rocket was making an uncontrolled reentry into the Earth’s atmosphere, with the fiery debris spotted in the sky by residents in Denmark, Sweden, and England, per the BBC But it was Poland that got to see the aftermath up close and personal as what is believed to be parts of the rocket crash-landed across the country To prawie na pewno szczątki drugiego stopnia rakiety Falcon 9 która została wystrzelona z bazy sił powietrznych Vandenberg w Kalifornii i wynosiła na orbitę 22 satelity Starlink z grupy 11-4 Autor nagrania: Marcin Gmerek pic.twitter.com/OSsEwyv4Cs — Karol Wójcicki (@KarolWojcicki) February 19, 2025 a similar tank was also found in a forest near Wiry Polsa determined that the crash was part of the second stage of a Falcon 9 rocket and that it reentered Earth’s atmosphere between 04:46 and 04:48.

in Polish airspace the Polish Space Agency (POLSA) provided an updated report on the incident on Monday The Polish Space Agency (POLSA) has confirmed that debris from a Falcon 9 rocket has been found in four locations across western Poland: Komorniki and Wiry The fragments were discovered between February 19 and 21 Authorities have secured the debris for further analysis with police and prosecutors involved in the investigation SpaceX stated that the fragments pose no threat to people and additional pieces may appear within a 100 km-wide corridor across Poland POLSA plans to advocate for international regulations requiring companies to disclose material composition to improve debris tracking and safety measures the sky across northern Europe was illuminated by an object zooming through the air in flames."I immediately thought of a sci-fi movie where it looked like a troop formation about to attack," Simon Eriksson told the Swedish state broadcaster.The pyrotechnics were in fact caused by a Space X Falcon 9 rocket re-entering the Earth's atmosphere Sweden and England.Pieces of the rocket then crashed into Poland and may also have landed in Ukraine.At around 10:00 local time (09:00 GMT) Adam Borucki was astonished to find what appeared to be a charred tank measuring around 1.5m by 1m behind his warehouse in Komorniki Poland.The debris appears to have damaged a light fixture in the warehouse's yard.Borucki contacted the police who working alongside the Polish space agency Polsa determined that the unidentified object was debris from a Falcon 9 rocket manufactured by Elon Musk's company SpaceX."We are investigating how the object ended up in this location but the important thing is that no one was harmed," police spokesperson Andrzej Borowiak said.A similar piece of debris was discovered in a forest near the Polish village of Wiry according to Polish police.Polsa has confirmed that "an uncontrolled re-entry of the Falcon 9 rocket's second stage occurred between 04:46 and 04:48 on February 19 over Poland".The SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket is used to transport people and payloads into the Earth's atmosphere It is designed to be reusable.The rocket which created this debris was launched by SpaceX from the Vandenberg Air Force Base in California on 1 February."It was supposed to re-enter the Earth's atmosphere in a controlled manner and crash into the Pacific Ocean," Harvard University astrophysicist Dr Jonathan McDowell told the BBC."But the engine failed We've seen it orbiting Earth for the past few weeks and we were anticipating an uncontrolled re-entry today which is what people saw burning in the sky."The debris zipped over England at around 17,000 mph then parts of Scandinavia then parts crashed into eastern Europe at a few hundred miles an hour."Space debris from rockets and satellites re-enter the Earth's atmosphere several times a month pieces of space debris are entirely burned up by Earth's atmosphere but larger pieces can fall to earth an uncontrolled large rocket re-entry is rare and has the potential to be dangerous."So far we've been lucky and no one has been hurt but the more we put into the Earth's orbit the more likely it is that our luck will run out," he said."This is the fourth incident recently with a SpaceX Falcon which is causing concern It looks like glitches like this engine failure are becoming more common."So far large pieces of debris have been confirmed in Poland but Dr McDowell suspects that pieces have crashed into western Ukraine where the comet-like streaks of light in the sky "were clearly visible"."It's quite the omen for how our civilization is changing," he added The requested content cannot be loaded.Please try again later A Carlisle man has lost his job working on the

no previous convictions He was previously employed on the city’s southern bypass road project but had since lost that job because of the drink-driving crime and the imminent mandatory ban A probation officer told the court Komornicki He was shocked by the breath reading as he only had a couple of pints at a works Christmas party Magistrates imposed a 12-month community through which Komornicki must complete 100 hours’ unpaid work He was handed a 23-month driving ban although this will be reduced by 23 weeks on successful completion of a rehabilitation course which the defendant was offered

Polish authorities are investigating the origin of a large object that fell from the sky early Wednesday in the western Polish city of Poznan, the Polish Space Agency (POLSA) said Wednesday. Defense Minister Wladysław Kosiniak-Kamysz told radio RMF FM that it was “not something that threatens state security.” “Between 04:46 and 04:48 an uncontrolled entry into the atmosphere of a FALCON 9 R/B launch vehicle stage occurred over the territory of Poland. The rocket stage, weighing approximately four tons, came from the Space X Starlink Group 11-4 mission, which took off from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California on 1 February 2025,” POLSA wrote on X. “Unusual flashes” were seen in the sky in western Poland, according to media reports. A police spokesperson in Poznan told the Polish Press Agency that at 9.20 local time (0820GMT) police were notified that an unidentified object had been found on the site of a company in Komorniki, a part of Greater Poznan, adding that no one was injured by the object. The director of the company, Adam Borucki, said it was about 1.5 meters (5 feet) long and looked like a “tank wrapped in foil with a piece of pipe sticking out.”​​​​​​​ Rockets debris fell in the backyard of a Polish home. The BBC reported on the 19th (local time) that the rocket fragments of Elon Musk's "SpaceX" fell unexpectedly in Komorniki, Poland. The black object, 1.5 meters long and 1 meter wide, fell near a warehouse owned by local resident Adam Borutsky early in the day. Borutsky found a strange object that looked like a burnt tank around 10 a.m. and reported it. Police and Polish space agency Polsa investigation found that the object in question was part of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. Similar debris was also found in a forest near the nearby village of Wiri, according to local police. "The Falcon 9 rocket entered Poland out of control between 4:46 a.m. and 4:48 a.m. on the 19th," Polsa confirmed. It was confirmed that SpaceX launched the rocket from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California on the 1st. Jonathan McDowell, a professor of astrophysics at Harvard University, said, "The rocket was going to re-enter the Earth's atmosphere under control and crash into the Pacific Ocean, but the engine failed. The debris crashed hundreds of miles per hour over the UK and past Scandinavia." "Problems such as engine failure are becoming more frequent, with the fourth recent incident involving SpaceX Falcon," he said. "So far, we have been lucky and no one has been hurt, but the more objects we send into Earth's orbit, the more likely we are to run out of our luck." ※ This service is provided by machine translation

strange object crashed into Adam Borucki’s lawn at a warehouse in Komorniki The debris was about 1.5m by 1m wide and thought to be from a Space X rocket launched from the Vandenberg Air Force Base in California on February 1 Poland's space agency POLSA is looking into whether the unidentified object found near the western Polish city of Poznan on Wednesday is debris from Elon Musk's SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket appeared on Wednesday morning on the premises of a company in Komorniki "We cannot rule out that the object found near Poznan comes from the Falcon 9 rocket Confirmation of this requires appropriate examination," said Agnieszka Gapys a second "identical" container was found in the forest of Wiry village The two locations are approximately 30 km (19 miles) from each other the police are securing the second container found When the activities related to the inspection of the first object are completed we will perform similar activities in the forest," said Lukasz Paterski POLSA said in a statement that the approximately four-tonne rocket it was monitoring on Wednesday morning was from the SpaceX Starlink Group mission "POLSA is in constant contact with the police," the agency said separately "We already have photos of the objects that fell near Poznan The POLSA Space Security Department will verify the object with SpaceX." two-stage rocket designed and manufactured by SpaceX for the transport of people and payloads into the Earth's orbit Poland has been on alert for possible spillover of weaponry from the war in neighbouring Ukraine especially since two people were killed near the border in November 2022 by what Warsaw concluded was a misfired Ukrainian air defence missile Polish state news agency PAP reported on Wednesday morning that flashes could be seen in the sky in some parts of Poland The press officer of the Greater Poland State Fire Service told PAP that at the request of the police a chemical and ecological rescue group had been sent to the site to rule out the possibility that the found item posed any threat Last year a giant ring suspected to be part of a rocket crash also landed in a Kenyan village Several fragments fell in western Poland near Poznań including one found on the property of a private company in Komorniki The minister has instructed the legal department to identify all affected individuals and invite them for consultations to determine their needs and the appropriate course of action When asked whether compensation should come from the U.S. as Falcon 9 belongs to an American company he stated it was too early to make that determination The politician emphasized that legal experts at the Ministry of Defense will assist those whose property has been damaged and ultimately decide how and from whom to

we have seen a host of organizations garnering attention for the issue consumer-facing campaigns to bridge the awareness gap but to ecosystem health and biodiversity as a whole – it soon became apparent that raising awareness was not enough In 2014, the White House stressed the economic challenge posed by declining pollinator populations, citing that honey bees contribute more than $15 billion to the United States economy president Obama communicated a federal strategy for 2015 to promote the health of honey bees and other pollinators This message was nothing new to scientists and beekeepers but even they felt the action was not enough - the issue needed to be addressed on a larger scale Coincidently, I began tuning into the buzz around bees shortly after Obama’s announcement and established my first hive to help the cause. What started out as an odd hobby soon became a popular talking point with friends and even strangers who began sharing clever, eye-catching campaigns - such as Cheerios’ giant beehive billboard (2015) from General Mills - with me which plants diverse flowers around their almond orchards; and Cascadia Farms By harnessing new tech for activations such as this one Häagen-Dazs has the potential to engage new audiences around the issue Providing consumers with solutions is key to getting them involved and spreading the message Allowing consumers to be part of the solution buying bee-friendly foods or even prompting changes in your product mix will drive interactions with your brand as well as the issue For other companies aiming to shed light on social or environmental issues for their consumers looking to the above examples provides great lessons learned: leveraging authentic ties to the business and implementing carefully crafted campaigns and strategies will help drive true engagement and impact And you may just inspire a consumer to take up beekeeping As marketing associate at Cone Communications Sophie tracks trends and works to create informative and timely content to help solidify Cone as a CSR thought leader She has aided with the creation of Cone’s industry-leading research and helped bring the insights to life via speaking opportunities and conference sponsorship She also manages all things digital for the agency including Cone’s social media 2017 12pm EDT / 9am PDT / 5pm BST / 6pm CEST an object blazing through the sky illuminated northern Europe sparking thoughts of a sci-fi scene for many onlookers The spectacle was caused by a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket re-entering the Earth’s atmosphere Watch Falcon 9 launch 23 @Starlink satellites to orbit from Florida https://t.co/pgmE6zoQCZ — SpaceX (@SpaceX) February 18, 2025 with debris later found in Poland and possibly Ukraine was discovered by Adam Borucki behind his warehouse in Komorniki prompting an investigation by local police and the Polish space agency Polsa Polsa confirmed the uncontrolled re-entry of the Falcon 9’s second stage over Poland a reusable rocket designed to transport people and payloads While debris from space re-entries is common Jonathan McDowell warned that increasing space activity might heighten such risks as this marks the fourth recent incident involving a SpaceX Falcon the event raises concerns about space debris and its potential hazards Get the best of “Warsaw Business Journal”  delivered to your inbox daily Report: resources of modern office space..
