| Name | Rudy H |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I've seen spaceX launches and this was not one of them. I assumed it could be either some kind of satellite entering our atmosphere and breaking apart and burning, or some unknown space rock I don't know how to identify properly. I hope it was not some military test aircraft, but I'd expect lights to show up after the burning trails if that was the case. |
