Difficult to say anything definite from this video which doesn't show much but a dot of light, but: In the last part of the video where citylight are visible, the movement of the object seems to be very uneaven, the object changing repeatedly from fast movement downwards to episodes with almost standstill. Together with the sudden plummet down and the spiralling movement, this to me does not fit well at all with a re-entry. Instead, I am thinking of a Thai fire-balloon (a small hot-air balloon consisting of a bag and a small burner. Since they became popular a few years ago we get loads of reports on these). - Marco ----- Dr Marco Langbroek - SatTrackCam Leiden, the Netherlands. e-mail: sattrackcam@wanadoo.nl Cospar 4353 (Leiden): 52.15412 N, 4.49081 E (WGS84), +0 m ASL Cospar 4354 (De Wilck): 52.11685 N, 4.56016 E (WGS84), -2 m ASL SatTrackCam: http://home.wanadoo.nl/marco.langbroek/satcam.html Station (b)log: http://sattrackcam.blogspot.com ----- _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-l
