A Chinese Rocket Is Wildly Careening Toward Earth This Weekend

- The debris, left over from the recent launch of a Chinese Space Station (CSS) module, could possibly land somewhere in the U.S., including cities like Los Angeles or New York City. While the event shouldn’t be hazardous, the military is still keeping an eye on the space junk just in case.

- NORAD catalog number 48275, estimates it will come down sometime on Saturday, May 8, though it could be as late as Sunday, May 9.

Chinese Rocket Coming This Weekend, Could Hit New York City

Time to take a break from "Trump this, Biden that.....", and keep eyes open for a bit (30-hour window). I can see NYC from my street, I guess I'm in the perimeter. They say it's 100 feet long and 16 feet wide, between 17 and 22 tons.

“We have the capability to do a lot of things, but we don’t have a plan to shoot it down as we speak,” U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin told reporters on Thursday.“We’re hopeful that it will land in a place where it won’t harm anyone. Hopefully in the ocean, or someplace like that.”

I think Lloyd Austin probably doesn't live in my area or he'll be in Florida for the weekend. Meanwile, here in NJ I'll go fishing, maybe I can grab a piece.

Maybe it'll hit one of the Cuomo's. Hopefully everyone else will be safe.

The Chinese have killed plenty of people within the last year with their virus so might as well get some more with their rocket.

I heard Chicago a little while ago. Nobody will notice.

Will it be racist if it falls on a black neighborhood?

Just payback.

Cuomo will blame the Russians. I know...., but you know him.

It's an uncontrolled reentry so there's no telling where it could hit , most likely it'll be over water but any of us could be in it's path , chances are it will burn up in the atmosphere though.

Should be front page world news.


Barely a blurb for over a week that jt has been known.


The circus never ends.

I have a feeling anything bad will still be blamed on Trump!
This could almost be an episode of the TV series Debris.

That's 40k pounds of rocket so I'm not sure it will all burn up.
Especially more solid pieces like the engines and fuel tanks.

Maybe it will hit in the middle, and land in MI?

Maybe Lansing?

And the hits just keep on coming.

Coincidence?

Are there peices of this currently burning up in the atmosphere or a meteor shower going on?

Last night at around 23:20 GMT, UK I saw a brilliant white/lightning blue-hue light shoot across the sky burning up quickly (0 -1 secs) heaading roughly NNE following perfect line with the ploughs 'handle'. There was no tail I could see and waited around a few minutes to see if there would be another but didn't notice anything.

It could come down in a sensitive area like Israel and start a war.
