I found this debris when I came out of SC. Is it a glitch? I made a quick album here:

Looks like someone lost a bit of landing gear, that could be fun at docking time..
I have no idea what it is. Awesome find though
Looks cool, though I have no idea what it is. I've seen the occasional bit of ship floating around the docking ports of various stations, from people with less coordination than most of us

Looks like part of an Airfix kit
Looks like the lower part of a ship's landing gear to me too.
With some additional detached surrounding textures.

I hope this isn't just a graphical glitch but is instead an actual piece of space junk.
In the ED gameworld humans have occupied space for centuries, there should be all sorts of junk and trash floating around out there - procedurally generated.
Even if people only come across it once in a blue moon it'd be nice to know there is all sorts of junk out there. Some of it could be salvageable. Some older relics could even have their own collectors market.
Imagine finding a piece of an old obsolete Cobra Mk 1. Or an even older 22nd century piece of stuff that predates the ships and equipment that we use in 3300 AD.

Actuating loading ramp in the retracted position.
the surrounding box implies that the entire ship is there, but this is the only portion being rendered.
The 'foot' slides down the dark grove on the thin side, and the 2 hinges straighten out.
Do you have any idea of the scale?
Anyone think this is the inside of a hauler?

I think that you are right it is a loading ramp but for something large like an Anaconda maybe.
I did hope that it was the start of FD constructing a new base by starting with a landing pad, just need for someone to land with the rest of the station in the hold ready for assembly
It's a glitch.
Regarding peaces floating around, damage model will have more proper ones, although those we have now are valid, but placeholdery. You can follow them and they will stay. If you travel away from them, they get destroyed however (server don't store such information).
