Starship Asterisk*

I was under the impression that some of the jettisoned rocket components reach an altitude high enough to make at least an orbit or two before burning up. But yes mostly carelessness (or more accurately, laziness), leads to many things being dismissed as natural phenomenon. We put a lot of stuff up ...

Because rocket debris will fall in trajectories that cross through launch sites. Not satellites, but things like casings, primary engine stages, etc. No matter what direction you launch a rocket, unless there's a very unusual change in trajectory at an extreme altitude, you'll have a path that speci...

By craft I meant spacecraft. Not something that's for low altitude atmospheric flight. I should have specified. Although Vandenberg is right around the area as well, which would seriously lend credence to the reentry of space debris as well. The ablation and colouring really seems to be something ma...

I know I'm not going to be popular for saying it here but I'm gonna go ahead and say it anyway :) I'd call the trajectory a little suspect in terms of what's in the area. Most likely an experimental military craft with a less than successful reentry, the various colours showing what was in the craft...
