CNN says no debris has been found??!! o_O wtf... I put the vid in HD so you could check it better. I wonder if this might be the test of Obama. The secret space war where we got to fight off an invisible alien invasion & elusive terrorist on two fronts while securing a wide open border??
Maybe we'll get to see some real life photoshopped NASA images and plastic video footage on CSPAN. What you think? Front row seats right here in the US, Hologram spectacular extravaganza.
This video was taken this morning, Sunday, February 15th, 2009, during the Austin Marathon in Central Austin, Texas USA (thanx TexasBlues2000).

A recent satellite collision in space is being blamed for burning debris that has fallen from the sky in Texas, Federal Aviation Administration officials said.
An FAA spokesman attributed reports of fireballs, explosions, and burning debris to a satellite collision that occurred on Tuesday, the station reported.
An abandoned Russian spacecraft designed for military communications collided Tuesday with a working satellite owned by U.S.-based Iridium, which served commercial customers as well as the U.S. Department of Defense.
The FAA said airmen warned the agency that crash debris might fall over the weekend. He said law enforcement agencies across the state started receiving calls Sunday morning from people who had either witnessed or found fallen debris, according to the station.

The video shows the fireball to be moving very rapidly. Typically, meteors come into Earths atmosphere at 20-50 km/sec (though they can be moving much faster), and burn up 50-100 km high. Man-made space debris re-entering is moving at slower than orbital speed so the max speed is about 8 km/sec. It also burns up lower, and generally you can see flames and whatnot coming off.
Ive seen man-made debris re-enter, and its very different than natural meteors. The difference in speed is very obvious. Right there, thats enough to make me think this was a single natural object.
Its possible to get collisional debris moving more rapidly, but its difficult. The two satellites closed in on each other at about 10 km/sec, and any shrapnel from that event would most likely be moving at roughly that same speed. If one satellite slammed into, say, an antenna first, then the lower mass antenna might get a pretty hefty acceleration from it, but the amount of energy dumped into it would most likely turn it into a bunch of teeny pieces (remember, the energy of impact was like several tons of TNT). A small object would not have been as bright as the fireball seen.
Also, youd have to have a pretty special set of circumstances to get any debris from the satellites to re-enter our atmosphere so soon after the collision. Its far more likely that it will be months before we see any of that shrapnel burning up.
So all in all, I am pretty sure what was seen was natural: a rock or a piece of metal from an asteroid.
This was certainly unrelated to a NORAD warning of a Russian booster re-entering, which later was determined to have fallen near Africa.
There were reports that an FAA official had confirmed this object was from the satellite collision. But those reports never gave a name!
Also, why the FAA? They are not the go-to agency for this. NORAD would make far more sense. It was big enough to track, why no warning??
