GOCU satellite piece burned over Texas

[aven17]

Anyone else have any sightings? I assume it was a piece because it coincided with the satellite's relative position and burned for a while, about a quarter of the sky.

Meh, I stayed inside in the basement the whole day, wearing a helmet. After that, I followed up with a vigil in memoriam of the satellite, followed by a six gun salute of airsoft guns.

Don't ask.

According to a BBC article from about 45 minutes ago, initial estimates are that any debris came down along a line stretching through eastern Asia and the western Pacific to Antarctica. While Texas is indeed big, none of those places are in Texas.

Yeah, now that I look at it, it wasn't the same trajectory as the satellite. Even though it was the appropriate time period, the object I saw was travelling more northeast. Just a run of the mill meteor I guess. It burned bright blue, with a small explosion towards the end.

I may still claim it as satellite debris though in retellings of the story. Life needs little embellishments.

So then why introducing a disinformation on the internets?
