...Yep, and one super-8 enthusiast actually caught the skim through
the atmosphere. First reports were that it was a UFO, then NORAD
confirmed they tracked it's reentry path, thinking initially that it
might be a stray ICBM from U-know-whoski. IIRC, it skimmed thru the
upper atmosphere at about Angels 100 to 120, and went back out again.
What was left of it, that is.
