An Unknown Manmade Object is Headed for Earth

SOURCE: Popular Mechanics Article

Snippet:

It's likely a rocket casing, but astronomers aren't for sure from where. All they know is that in three weeks, it will burn up over the Indian Ocean.

Perhaps the object is a remnant of a secret space mission? I don't know but I am intrigued that it is not known from what mission this object came from but I guess it would have to have been a lunar mission given it came from a trajectory beyond the Moon. Maybe some ATS sleuths might give a crack at figuring out the origin of this rocket casing or what ever it is.

it twice as far out as the distance of the moon, and something bothered it enough to come back down to Earth.

"It's coming in fast and will get very hot

That it was discovered so late in the game is unusual but not unheard of. The United States is currently working on its next version of the "space fence,"

Interesting, they were hoping for a hollow object?
