(meteorobs) Definitely not JERS.......

The more orbits and SPACECOM info I view,  I now can say I do not believe JERS deorbited and was viewed a few hours ago..

::Pulls back the money he was going to bet::

There is now talk of SL-12 rocket debris....

Here's some info Tony Beresford posted to the SEESat-L List
<<However as Ed pointed out  26990 01 53D , an sl-12 rocket from
the glosnass launch fits quite nicely. US SPACECOM had it
decaying at 0441 UT at 50N, 20E, on the descending section of an orbit.
Looks like it was early, and on the ascending portion of same orbit.
Last elset
SL-12 R/B

Ahh the joys of predicting and trying to guess what the heck is falling out of the sky! So many numbers, so many pieces of junk up there, but somehow we always seem to figure out what actually fell, its amazing, its ROCKET SCIENCE, lol...
