Firefighters confirmed the object posed no threat. Poland’s Space Agency was notified, and officials are now examining the scene.

Three rocket fragments were previously found on February 19 in Komorniki, Wiry, and Śliwno, with a fourth piece discovered in Szamotuły on February 21.

According to the Polish Space Agency, part of a Falcon 9 rocket re-entered Earth’s atmosphere on February 19, apparently in an uncontrolled descent.

The roughly four-ton segment originated from the SpaceX Starlink Group 11-4 mission, launched from California’s Vandenberg Space Force Base on February 1.
