About that possible space debris landing in Africa.

Comment from “Ed”: “Check out the Ariane 5 Space Debris (33155) that reentered around the same time. It was equatorial and more likely to be a candidate at the time of reentry.”

However, the reentry messages from space track, Ed adds, would have both the U.S. Atlas and European Space Agency (ESA) Ariane debris in completely different parts of the world.
