Strangly silent about this mystery object.
No new info since initial sighting.

I was thinking more along the lines of the: "astronomers in Arizona, New Mexico and Spain". The ones that found it in the first place. I would guess they have the big (and weather proof) telescopes.

I don't blame you for not risking your personal amateur hardware.

I sent an email to a couple of the astronomers mentioned in the original report asking if they have any updates. No replies so far.

Big, sure, but probably not weatherproof (not that you can see through clouds anyway). Arizona and new mexico are bound to have less rain than florida though, so I'm sure they've been able to continue observing it. I just wish they'd hurry up and post some refined orbital information. Someone. Anyone. lol.

The assigned name/number & article, not the object, which probably doesn't exist.


Why do you say the object doesn't exist? I guess I'm going to have to go take a picture of it tonight, not just because it's close to earth, but to prove it exists lol.


Hello You, I'm waiting for the pic you promised me.



I still think that was a strange name to give it.

So, has no one released any images of the shining one? I will wait with anticipation.

I guess that if the 9U01FF6 really does exist. Then as it has an elongated, 31-day orbit, we will have to wait until Nov 29th until someone gets another look. Or has it just gone off of our radar? Well it is supposed to be travelling at 82,000 km an our 0.2 lunar distances away.
Maybe it is something like Clementine - I would love the equipment to track such an object - Someone please take a photo

So were these items Painted Black?

I have never seen anything that was not Red, White and Blue.

They were mostly white with a little black and red "USA" letters.
Here is a picture of one that is not Red, White and Blue, just for you.
Apollo 7 S-IVB in orbit.

RAF Flyingdales has the capability to scan for and isolate pieces of debris left in and around Earth orbit since the early exploration era THE SIZE OF A BIRO PEN! Or around 5 inches long, and have a comprehensive database that catalogues every piece of space junk that can be found.

Those that doubt this, ask yourself a simple question;

If you were paying for a multi million pound/dollar/euro satellite, civilian or military, would you just trust to luck that a relic from the 60's or 70's the size of a flatbed truck won't come slamming into your equipment at 20,000 mph?

No...of course you wouldn't. These bit's and pieces of junk, have been mapped and their trajectories plotted, since the early days...there is not much up there (from Earth) bigger than a golf ball that they don't know about, and know precisely it's orbital path.

Hundreds of comms, spy, and other satellites up there, and no one knows where all the junk is? No chance at all...
