Well, it did just burn in through the earth's atmosphere from low orbit. But you're right to wonder what's up there now. Ever hear of MISTY and
ZIRCONIC? Code-names for National Reconnaissance Office satellites launched in the '90s. Based on the KH-11 Kennan. Thought to be radar invisible and
low-reflectivity. Theoretical ground resolution on the Kennan is six inches, not taking into account atmospheric disturbances. If that's what they
were launching in the '90s, I'd love to know what's considered current now.
And as for the picture, I'm thinking the object in hand is indeed a wheel chock. Look at the front gear, appears to be the same thing. Same colour,
even.
