Sure it's possible the current Black Knight video I posted is CGI but I guarantee you it's not the "space blanket". Not to mention the first reporting of the supposed Black Knight satellite was 1998 and the video you posted is from 2013 and that space blanket does not resemble the shape of the Black Knight satellite.
I'm not saying the Black Knight satellite is legit but to date I have yet to see a source that absolutely proves its something other than what the current ongoing theory is. I'm never going to buy the space blanket story. Time lines and shapes do not match.
It's not a question of disproving 'current theories' [whatever the heck THAT means]. It's the responsibility of the claimant to prove it has no other possible explanation. Without the slightest info on provenance of the image, it's automatically classified as a probable hoax until that possibility is disproved. We're waiting. But nobody's holding their breath.

Is anyone concerned about the discarded waste burning in the atmosphere turned into a gas? Like if it's aluminum it could turn into aluminum gas. Just a concern I've had.

Uh, no it was not CGI, its a Space Bag, as pointed out by Dragonridr. So that blows your CGI out of the water. Next time, do not be so quick to judge.

Its a piece of space trash. Probably the same thermal blanket mistaken for the first set of Black Knight images, which was accidentally released by an astronaut some time ago while repairing a satellite.

Well, whatever that thing is in the video — it’s clearly not a thermal blanket.
Care to explain why not?
1. The object does not contort in any footage ever provided. A blanket would not keep the same defined structure.
2. That would have to be a massive thermal blanket. What was it’s use for?
3. Look closely at the defined shape / details of it. I’d find it hard to believe a blanket can make (and keep) that shape.

I am heavily on the fence leaning towards hoax on the whole BK story but I have a question for the knowledgeable. Wouldn't the orbit of that blanket deteriorate over time until it burned in the atmosphere ?

Once the original oscillations dampen, a blanket would remain in the same shape forever until some force acts upon it. What force in space would act upon a blanket that would make it continue to contort its shape?
As for size, there is no way to tell the size of it, considering there is nothing that can provide size reference. We can't tell how far it is from the camera because distances in a vacuum are difficult to discern due to the lake of atmospheric haze.
