After fireballs streaked across sky, space-junk sleuths got busy — and hit the jackpot in Washington

After fireballs streaked across sky, space-junk sleuths got busy and hit the jackpot in Washington By Dominic Gates, , The Seattle Times (TNS), Published: April 22, 2021, 8:25pm Share: People across the Pacific Northwest were awed on the evening of March 25 by an otherworldly formation of fireballs that streaked across the heavens, causing a social media sensation. Astronomers promptly demystified it as debris from a falling SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. Though such wayward rockets generally burn up in the atmosphere, this time substantial chunks fell to earth in Eastern Washington. At least one came uncomfortably close to hitting people. Yet neither SpaceX nor the various federal agencies with some role in tracking space junk the Federal Aviation Administration, NASA, and the U.S. Space Force investigated what happened on the ground.
