KINGS COUNTY, CA KMPH - A mysterious piece of space junk that fell from the sky in Southern California appears to have been part of a communication satellite.But people still arent really sure what to make of it.A bright flash lit up the sky over the region last week, around the same time apparently that a metal object was falling onto a Kings County farm.The discovery was made Saturday, on a ranch south of Hanford, CA, about half an hour south of Fresno.That same day, Naval Air Station Lemoore ruled out any connection.And while Space-X recently launched a Falcon-9 rocket from Vandenberg Air Force Base, this was not a fragment.One of the companys vice presidents said he was fairly certain it wasnt from them.The tanks are too short, the liner looks like different material, and it also looks like it went through an orbital reentry, he said.But, it could instead be the same object that made the bright light last Thursday. A video of that event appears to show a satellite making reentry.One satellite was tracked making reentry that day, and it came within a mile or two of where the metal object was found.The satellite communications company Iridium identified the object as a fuel tank.They said it belonged to a low-orbiting satellite that was launched in the late 90s and re-entered the Earths atmosphere.

The owner stated the business was closed, no one had permission to be inside and requested deputies check on the business. After several PA announcements that went unanswered. Deputy Kullman, Deputy Michael Keys, and K9 Khan began searching the property. A short while later, K9 Khan focused on a stack of tires and knocked them over, revealing Culps hiding location. Culp was taken into custody without further incident and provided medical attention at the scene before being booked for second-degree burglary.Nearly four hours later around 4 a.m. Thursday, Deputy Kullman and K9 Khan were requested to assist SPD officers locate a suspect with several warrants for his arrest.25-year-old Matthew R. Olson had two confirmed felony assaults and two confirmed misdemeanor warrants for his arrest and was believed to be hiding in the basement of a residence on the 5500 block of N. Loma Drive.Upon arriving at the property and having several PA announcements go unanswered, Deputy Kullman deployed K9 Khan. K9 Khan began searching the area and making his way to a makeshift wall with a door and old headboards stacked against it. K9 Khan started barking and jumping at the door, knocking the headboards over, allowing him to gain access to the door and to apprehend Olson.
