INCREDIBLE footage shows wreckage from space hurtling towards the Earth before part of it crashes into a garden in Poland.
The burning debris came from Elon Musk’s Falcon 9 space rocket that was launched on February 1 in California.

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.
