A local man was serving on a ship during the Gulf War in 1990.  Sometime
around the 17-20th of January, he saw what he thought was a surface to air
missle being launched.  Needless to say, there was some commotion!  However,
when the dust settled it was determined that he had actually seen a
satellite re-entering, possibly a part of the old Soyuz space station.

He's curious to know just what it was that he saw.  Does anybody have
records of any re-entries over the Gulf around 17-20 January, 1990?

Thanks,
