People across southern California witnessed streaks of light moving across the sky in the early hours of 2 April.

It is unclear what caused the light, though people on social media speculated that it could be debris from a SpaceX launch or a module from the Chinese Shenzhou-15 spacecraft, which was due to enter the atmosphere around the same time.

The BBC is working to verify what may have caused the streaks.

The flaming wreck appears to be the orbital module from China's Shenzhou 15 astronaut mission, which launched in November 2022.

Although this recent example appears to have caused more of a media stir, it's very similar to other examples of space junk returning home:
