An unidentified flaming object seen in the sky over Chihuahua, Mexico has led to speculation that it could be a Japanese rocket launched in 2010. The video of the object flying across the sky has sparked interest and debate among observers. While authorities have not confirmed the origin of the object, an Aerospace post suggests it could be the Japanese H-IIA rocket carrying the navigation satellite Michibik. The satellite, part of a project to enhance navigation system above Asia, was launched in 2010 and was expected to re-enter the Earth’s atmosphere this week. This event has led to an increase in videos capturing space debris burning up in the night sky, attributed to a rise in rocket launches and the prevalence of smartphones for recording such events. The speculation around the flaming object seen in Chihuahua highlights the interest and curiosity surrounding space exploration and the potential re-entry of satellites into the Earth’s atmosphere.
