The Polish Space Agency confirmed that the debris was from a SpaceX rocket.

Meanwhile, images show investigators in hazmat suits examining unidentified debris in dramatic Roswell-style scenes.

There have reportedly been sightings of the debris in Denmark, Sweden and England.

Some pieces of the rocket crashed into Poland and may have landed in Ukraine as well.

Polish Adam Borucki apparently discovered some of the remains of a second stage of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket in his backyard.

Police spokesperson Magdalena Zblewska said the latest object fell in the town of Czersk.

The Polish police, fire brigade, chemical team and representatives of the Polish Space Agency have been inspecting locations where debris has fallen.

Astronomer Karol Wojcicki told local media: “I don’t recall such a clearly visible deorbit of a second-stage rocket over Poland before.

“It’s very spectacular and many people recorded the event. In reality, such phenomena don’t happen often over densely populated areas.

They usually take place over the ocean.”

An object resembling a container was found near Poznan in western Poland on Wednesday.

Later, a second identical container was found in the forest of Wiry village.

Zblewska said: “The police received a report from a resident of the Czersk commune, who reported that an unidentified object had fallen on her property.

“The police are securing the area and investigating the circumstances of the incident.”

The Polish Space Agency (POLSA) said a stage of the Falcon 9 R/B rocket made “an uncontrolled re-entry into the atmosphere” at about 0346 GMT.

It said the rocket was part of a Space X Starlink Group launch from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California on February 1.

The launch was to put Starlink satellites into a low-level orbit.

The debris left spectacular luminous trails visible in the sky in western Poland, witnesses said.

The Roswell Incident

By Elizabeta Ranxburgaj

One of the world’s most talked-about questions stemmed from a U.S. Army Air Forces press release from the summer of 1947.

The document noted that they had discovered a “flying disc” from a ranch near the small city of Roswell, New Mexico.

Some believers have claimed an extraterrestrial spacecraft crashed into the desert, leaving debris and alien bodies.

The mystery has spurred rumours and ideas that this moment came to be a decades-long cover-up by the government.

A local rancher reported finding debris in the area and had an intelligence officer, Jesse Marcel, come to the site and take more debris.

The mystery became rampant after the US military made a major u-turn 24 hours later and said the UFO rumors had been a mistake and explained the debris was from a crashed weather balloon.

Decades on, some people have still argued that the balloon crash was a cover-up for something more sinister or extraterrestrial.

Dancing On Ice star Anton Ferdinand closes soccer academy after running up almost £240,000 debts

DANCING On Ice star Anton Ferdinand’s football academy is being wound up after running up large debts.

The former footballer, 40, was granted a court order to dissolve the firm after telling a court that the outfit was insolvent.

The ex-West Ham star founded the Ferdinand Football Group Ltd in 2021.

The most recent accounts for the venture covering 2023 revealed the firm employed 30 people and had debts of around £240,000.

It also had a tax bill of just £2,247 pointing to a modest income.

A High Court judge rubber stamped the winding up order and documents sent to Companies House reveal that a liquidator has been appointed to break up the doomed Essex-based firm.

The Sun has contacted a representative for Anton for comment.

One person said on a junior football page on social media: “Seems like FFG has gone into liquidation! Have tried contacting but not getting any response and the website is down.”

The firm ran football packages for all for ages and said of its £50 per month offer: “Will provide all children aged between 6 – 16 years the opportunity to receive extra technical coaching, in additional to their fun community and grassroots based provision.

“The Development Centre is highly suitable for players who either want to begin their football journey or already playing at high level.

“In addition we teach in a positive learning environment for players whether that’s in game related practices, Individual and group – team challenges to encourage them to improve their technique, individuality, communication skills, physicality, decision making and game related tactics.”

While his business is on thin ice, Anton is flourishing on the ITV rink.

At the weekend he finished in joint second place on the leaderboard with The Traitors star Mollie Pearce, just behind Towie’s Dan Edgar.

Despite the impressive ranking, he had to skate-off against Charlie Brooks and the judges decided to save him.

‘Couple of idiots’ – Premier League Darts star gives verdict on this year’s lineup

NATHAN ASPINALL has revealed a mischievous secret about two of the Premier League’s great-eight line-up.

The World No 11 claims there are a “couple of idiots” amidst the pack of more serious glory hunters!

But if any of The Asp‘s seven opponents reckon he has turned into a snake with his verdict, they needn’t have worried… 

That’s because the Stockport star includes himself in the doubtful duo!

The 2025 line-up contains last year’s Prem king and new world champion Luke Littler, plus Luke Humphries, Michael van Gerwen, Rob Cross, Stephen Bunting, Gerwyn Price and Chris Dobey.

Humphries and Littler picked up a win apiece on the first two nights of the current campaign.

But ahead of the third evening in Dublin on Thursday, Aspinall had fun with his suggestion that two of the eight have hit the ‘fools eye’.

The  2023 World Matchplay winner told BetMGM: “Every year it gets stronger.

“We’ve got a line-up of serious focused players and a couple of idiots like me who just enjoy it!” 

But despite clearly joking, Aspinall wasn’t quite bold enough to name his partner in silliness.

And he admitted NONE of the elite can afford too many off-nights – because of the incredibly high standard.

He said: “Anyone making the top four let alone winning it over the tournament has done very well – hopefully it’s me lifting the trophy.”

The staggering rise of Aspinall’s close friend Littler, 18, is the main reason for darts’ surging popularity. 

The Asp added: “We joke about how big the sport has got just because of Luke, but we’re seeing the benefits as players as well.

“When you get to the Premier League, that is a whole new level. 

“I don’t think the growth is going to stop. Darts could be as big as golf and tennis.

“Just keep doing what we’re doing and hopefully that happens.”

EastEnders fans praise BBC bosses for ‘sublime’ link to the 80s during Angie Watts’ shock return – did you spot it?

EASTENDERS fans were stunned when the BBC brought back the legendary Angie Watts for the 40th anniversary special – complete with a nod to her very first episode.

In the poignant scene, Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean) found herself trapped in the Vic’s wreckage, only to be met by a vision of her late mother urging her to scream for help.

Angie’s return was a moment of pure nostalgia, made even stronger by the fact that she was dressed in the exact same outfit she wore when EastEnders debuted in 1985.

Fans wasted no time in heaping praise on the BBC for the production team’s immaculate attention to detail.

One thrilled viewer wrote: “I can’t believe we got her back, even if only for a moment. And wearing her first-ever dressed-up outfit too. After all this time, Angie Watts came home!!!”

Another questioned: “Did they dig that costume out from somewhere or did the costume department have to painstakingly recreate it so perfectly?

“Such a beautiful attention to detail when they really didn’t even need to.”

The emotional scene had many in tears, with one fan calling it “an incredible moment in EastEnders and, in my opinion, a golden TV moment.”

Another simply added: “It was like she never left! Sobbing.”

EastEnders executive producer Chris Clenshaw revealed just how much it meant to have Angie back in Walford for the landmark episode.

He shared: “Angie Watts is undoubtedly one of EastEnders’ most formidable and iconic landladies.

“Since the very first episode, Anita instantly created a character that the audience adored. She not only shaped EastEnders into the show it is today but also had a huge impact on British television.”

He added: “Watching Angie Watts grace the halls of The Queen Victoria, 40 years to the day she made her first appearance in Walford, is a day we will never forget.”
