Some experts believe that it might not be a meteor shower but the re-entry of a rocket or satellite debris.

Now, in Ladbori village in Sindewahi tehsil of Chandrapur district, people reported that a wide metal ring fell from the sky. It fuelled the theory that ‘satellite debris’, and not meteors, had fallen from the sky. Later on, the people handed over the ring to the local police.
