Mystery object to enter earth atmosphere on Nov 13th

Featured Replies

No this is not a comment about the new METV.

I subscribe to a daily Science Blog.

In all seriousness, a group i in the Netherlands that monitors Near Earth Objects that pass by the earth or enter into the Earth's atmosphere (as in Space Junk) has determined that an object they can not precisely identify, which is probably a leftover relic from an Apollo moon shot is expected to re-enter the Earth's Atmosphere somewhere south of the Island of Sri Lanka on 13 November 2015.

What this object is can not be precisely determined, although the best guess is that is an empty fuel tank from the Lunar Excursion Module that lifted one of the Apollo modules off the moon back to the Apollo vehicle for their return to Earth after their time on the moon.

These fuel tanks were then jettisoned from the module after the Lunar Module docked with the Apollo return module.

The object appears to be an empty tube about ammeter or so long and according to it's radar return signals appears to be empty. fuel tank.

But as I said this can not be precisely determined.

It appears this object will enter into the Indian Ocean to the Southeast of Sri Lanka and should burn up in the Earth's atmosphere at approximately 6:30 GMT on 13 November 2015.

The interesting thing is if the track on this object is slightly off it potentially COULD enter over Thailand and burn up there.

With the time difference it therefore potentially could burn up as a fireball l over Thailand at approximately 1330 or just after 1 o'clock on the 13th of November

The 13th of November is the same day that he new Multi Entry Tourist Visa is due to be released for tourists to Thailand .

Co-incidence or not?
