satellite fragments

This giant object is seen in the night sky near Las Vegas, Nevada on December 22 (local time, ie December 23, 2010). Witnesses believe this is a meteorite.

Russian media said the fragments of the country's inactive military telecommunications satellite Molniya-1T fell off the Pacific Ocean on April 7.

Soviet's first fully operational weather satellite Meteor-1, on March 26, fell back to the earth's atmosphere after more than four decades in orbit, the US Strategic Command said.
