Most unintended re-entries of Starlink seem to be more dramatic with disintegration, so a different kind of item eg Russian, might well make sense, but here's a confirmed Starlink satellite entering over Puerto Rico, for comparison: https://youtu.be/a7KUSN89-A0 Anyone else here old enough to remember Skylab?? permalink fedilink source parent [–] calhoon2005@aussie.zone 3 points 3 years ago That was neat.
