Just the ones like the ISS that are out of the atmosphere the ISS is very slow visually, but at 17000+mph not so slow.

The baby here was in the atmosphere.

Entering the atmosphere, from an orbital trajectory. It also was a solid, stable object unlike a clump of ice or rock floating in space.

Cool observation at best, upsetting the owner of the site didn't see there was already a thread on it.

Yes, I do wonder. When the explanation leads a local news team to appear skeptical, I really wonder then. Normally, news people like that would read what the government handed them and move on. The anchor didn't seem real sure.

The latest trend is to sensationalize things with obvious conventional explanations as exotic.

Not so long ago they would mockingly report such events, but now they don't bother to investigate, or outright ignore rational explanations in favor of ratings generating headlines.
