Just saw something come through the atmosphere. It was pretty neat and not an asteroid. Had a type of halo behind it. After googling looks like it was caused by a heat shield from the craft. Not aliens. San Diego, Ca.

Nothing that I know of but it could have also been debris.

Pretty sure the last space shuttle was retired over six years ago...
Bro, do you even current events?
Maybe North Korea wasn’t bluffing.

Yeah, that did come off silly. I know NASA isn’t sending people to the moon anymore, however they still send people off to space stations and have unmanned crafts as well.

Thank you! Will keep my eye on that in the next day or so.

Indeed check out that North Korean shuttle, bringing death and destruction for us all:

Stop. This wasn’t political and I’m not a nut. At least I hope not.

NASA hasn’t sent anyone to moon since 1972. I think all of our astronauts hitch rides on Russian rockets now. Not sure how they get back down though.

I understand. I both work with air crafts and have seen rockets sent from Edwards (albeit last one I saw launched was ~10 years ago, satellite?). Something with a heat shield entered our atmosphere. I’m on my forth beer but was sober when I saw it. Pretty cool. It was not an asteroid. Could have easily been a crashing satellite though.

Being near San Diego, it could have been anything. Lots of military stuff over there.

Well, regardless, coolest thing I’ve focused on in a while. Thanks for reading. Thanks for replies.

You work with air crafts and saw it after your forth beer. Yeah, it was a space shuttle for sure.

Soyuz capsules. They’re very tight fits.

Well the last shuttle was grounded in 2011 so it probably wasn’t a shuttle.

Not so fast.... there are space shuttles, just no manned ones at the moment

Thanks! That’s the exact timing. Must be it. Looked like it was coming down, but this has to be it.

Yep, depends on your perspective. Rockets don’t go straight up - to reach orbit they curve over into a high speed orbit. Depending on your perspective, it could look like it was coming down.
In my day job, I work at a company that has launched 51 satellites in 3 years ;)
