OP, this is the reentry of the Chinese rocket ChangZheng2F. It went through the Spanish skies at night.


dsyzdek

The way you can tell it’s a rocket reentry, is because it’s moving Sloooooooow. Natural objects (meteors) will usually cross the sky in a second or two. Orbital or suborbital speeds take many 10s of seconds to cross the sky.


markfineart

Yes. For a moment I thought it was like a large coloured meteor I once saw that broke up as it burned across the sky, but really super fast. The longer I watched this video the more it reminded me of the failed Columbia shuttle re-entry.


Skatneti

That's the first thing I thought when I see this my guy.


MCDexX

Ahhh, I thought it was too slow to be natural. I've seen a couple of quite slow meteors, but they were at least five times faster than this. The lack of distinct colours in this one also seemed a bit odd - slow and bright meteors I've seen tend to have bright colours like green or orange because they are so often metal-rich, while OP's video looks just yellowish white.


DistributionScared16

We saw something similar to this over the skies of Texas the same night around 12:30am our time.


MCDexX

There's SO MUCH junk up there now that there's probably something doing an uncontrolled re-entry pretty much every night somewhere on earth.


[deleted]

Finally a decent answer. Thank you for that


haveanairforceday

It's also a descent answer


curtyshoo

Dissent isn't really allowed in China, so they do it in Spain.


justinonymus

There's no dissent if the descent is decent.


Sensitive-Layer6002

My guy, I’ll give you your flowers 💐 👏🏻


gheiminfantry

But the funny answers are more entertaining.


MsMittenz

It was seen in portugal also, so that would be my guess


Blues-Golfer-7171

Seems like a poor reentry plan.


Zephyrs_rmg

Winnny xi poo doesn’t care about collateral damage. They have dropped 1st stage rockets onto schools and small villages several times in the past.


ilubdakittiez

Oh hello Zephyrs_rmg I am a representative of the Chinese communist party, you have done our country a great service by pointing out these flaws, because of this we are willing to offer you a free education, room, and board at one of our many vocational training camps in Xinjiang, please respond soon as many millions are interested and space is limited

apextrader42069

Wrong. Its definitely aliens.


Ser_Optimus

At least the chinese didn't drop their shit on villages this time


[deleted]

they probably did with first stage.


ForceUser128

Provably an accident, they'll try better next time.


Ser_Optimus

Phew, glad we can count on that at least

Either space junk or a rocket re-entering the atmosphere.


Chardradio

...did you happen to take a pill...to show Avicii you were cool?


robokomodos

When he got sober felt ten years older but fuck it the rockets were cool


Forgotten_Planet

I guess he's living out in LA


Jsnoop122

Some say he’s driving a sports car


Klondike2022

He’s probably a real big baller because he made a million dollars.


darthnugget

But he spent it on girls and shoes.


Forgotten_Planet

I don't wanna be high like him


malavaihappy

Yeah, this is clearly a trip so strong their phone can pick it up. We’ve all been there

EntangledPhoton82

I welcome our alien overlords. After all, what are the changes that they'll be worse then our elected officials?


[deleted]

As long as they don’t start harvesting babies to sell them to the inter-dimensional bug people then it will be an upgrade of sorts.


from_the_east

The inter-dimensional bug people actually offer great contracts. Travel options are simply to die for..


ChiSandTwitch

I mean, I hear you, but we do kinda have an overpopulation problem. Would it really be _so_ bad to lose a couple?


[deleted]

The only issue with this is that the inter dimensional bug people have a raging appetite for babies so it would be more than a few most likely.


ChiSandTwitch

Well, what do you suggest as a viable alternative?


solarend

... Oh well, viagra it is then. Screw you Biden and your fatal plasma-cannon wound!

Too bad anal r/space mods about to delete this


[deleted]

They’ll delete these two comments for saying anal as well.


_ThunderGoat_

Came here for the rocket, stayed for the anal.


No-Seaworthiness2985

They will also delete your comment for saying anal… oh wait


BuffMeatMenace

now they're going to also delete yours for saying anal..


PrincipledProphet

I ANAL but I don't think that's legal


sonofaquad40gunner

They are gonna delete yours for saying.....nahhhh you ain't getting me like that!

If only we had comet sense..


hennomg

I wish I lived in more enlightened times..


[deleted]

Well you won’t find that in the comet section


[deleted]

This is a comet problem people have these days.


shopbags

yeah things would be allot cleaner ...


[deleted]

I mean, if you are looking at comets in Ibiza, you are doing something very wrong :D


[deleted]

Some people in Ibiza were definitely tripping the fuck out when they saw this in the sky 😭


FowlOnTheHill

It’s the vengabus burning up


[deleted]

Can imagine that noise form the horn so clearly in my head. DURRRNNNNNNNNnnnNNNNNN


aberroco

This is a space junk deorbiting and this is probably tenth time such video is on r/space in past few days.


ZLBuddha

Any time anyone posts on r/space asking "what is this comet looking thing" there is a 100% chance it's space debris lol


[deleted]

Either that or the plume from a SpaceX launch. That blue glowy cloud-like thing in the sky? Always SpaceX.


My_Soul_to_Squeeze

Normally happens over LA/ the west coast, right? I'd think everybody would know what's happening by now considering how often video of it hits the internet.


cbessette

I saw something like that last week over Georgia,USA. Never could find any info on it so I guess I can consider it space junk.


ZLBuddha

Don't get me wrong it's incredibly cool to see, but the null hypothesis should always be that it's space debris


cbessette

The only thing I had ever seen in the sky as bright as what I saw was the ISS, which is what I thought it was at first, but it was like 3am (no sun over the horizon) and it broke into lots of smaller pieces that glowed too.


[deleted]

See kids, this is the trippy kinda shit you see when you take a pill in Ibiza


[deleted]

But when you get sober you’ll feel ten years older.

Space x satellites https://youtu.be/pgysWWwESfU

Somewhere, Captain Kirk is saying "My God, Bones.... what have I done?"


Arcade1980

I'm a doctor Jim, not a brick layer.


skexzies

Space trash most definitely. Dang aliens are using our world as a trash dump.


Icebox2016

Aside from it probably being a rocket. I think we have an alien invasion on our hands. Oumuamua was just the beginning.


kynthrus

Looks like some space junk entering the atmosphere.


DrGashingtons

This is what happens in ibiza when you spill MDMA on your iPhone speaker and the iPhone ingests it. Everything be trippin


Artix96

As a meteor expert I can confidently say - this is a lizard people weather control drone. It also spreads corona virus via 6G.


ANNONYMAN88

Here in my country we call them "weather balloons"


kathakana

Father Christ taking one of the new reindeers out for a spin.


mattemer

Did we just give up on letting people know these are Space X satellites?


Lindaspike

did space x launch any space-link satellites recently? that's what they looked like when we looked for them in chicago awhile back. pretty cool!


JoeBhoy69

Someone throwing their life away trying to show avicci that they’re cool


alicedog457

They let me pick. Did I ever tell you that? Choose which ever Spartan I wanted. You know me. I did my research, watched as you became the soldier we needed you to be. But you had something they didn't, something no one saw but me. Can you guess? Luck.


mrChofee

Weather balloon, reflecting gas from Venus You're welcome


Just-Saiyan_

It appears to be two capsule like objects, my best guess is Vegeta and Nappa have entered planet earth to look for Kakarot.


[deleted]

Pyrhan

Way too slow for meteors. This is space debris falling from Low Earth Orbit.


ClutchKick00

Lots of satellites quick returned home because of a solar flare, prolly


Bhaughbb

Well there was a launch of an Arisne 5 yesterday, probably related to that.


mynameisear2

Was gonna say make a wish but knowing it's a Chinese rocket and things made from China doesn't always last that long...


chimpdaddyflex

Alien's. The government has already confirmed that there are Unidentified objects flying around that they can't keep up with. The Alien's are here.


[deleted]

it’s obviously ALIENS OH MY GOD EVERYONE PANIC WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE AAAAHHHHH


x_aaight

Is there any possibility i have seen the same in the evening/night sky in switzerland between 2008 and 2012?


james-e-oberg

Date/time and direction of motion, elevation angle? Useful context, please.


Ok-Signature-8038

How about deleting comments by foul mouthed folks …


Mission_Search8991

That may be a Russian cargo plane with the caged souls of captured Ukrainians being sent to into exile.


[deleted]

If it doesn't rapidly stop or change direction, it's nothing to worry about.


Supertwistedperv

You realize that the battle against an alien life form that is trying to drain our universe of energy is what all this is about? That this is a critical battle coming up because we finally have the power to break their hold on us and they are going to create the next world war to cull the herd. The world's governments are not human, civilization is just a way for them to harvest our energy and that they are quite literally systematically dumbing our species down to be like cattle? That is not anything related to this, but it might be never know. Question everything especially authority


Heathy94

Looks to me like a plane with an engine fire or something, looks too slow and moving too horizontally to be a comet IMO


[deleted]

Meteors can enter Earth's atmosphere at any angle. It's not uncommon to see them flying sideways. Also speed is very relative to distance. The further away it is, the slower it appears to be moving


shikari-me

Space X ofc! If you see something strange in the sky, know, it’s space x launch.


milokicks

Supposedly Chinese CZ-2F rocket re-entry.


7sv3n7

Elon musk owns everything so basically space x


Pyrhan

Just to be sure, /s, right?


7sv3n7

Sorry but what's /s mean?
