Fiery objects seen in parts of Southern and South Western Ethiopia lead to speculations. The objects were seen on Thursday night.
The Ethiopian Space Science Society in a statement said that it was conducting investigation. It added that the objects looked like space debris or meteor rocks. It asked people to wait calmly until the inquiry has been completed.
The residents of Arba Minch, Wolaita Sodo, Burji, Suro Barguda, and many other places in Ethiopia have confirmed that they saw the burning objects which were not like shooting stars. They say shooting stars do not last very long but the objects seen on Thursday night remained visible for longer time.
