Anyone have any knowledge about what this could be? I couldn't get a picture. Just thought it was cool and to make a note in case info/video comes out later. Happened like 1:45 AM PST. Gave me anxiety lmao. Hopefully it lands in the ocean/disintegrates completely.

Rules

Submissions must be related to Space/Cosmology

This includes "circlejerky" submissions or space-related art, with the exception of art from space agencies or historically-significant art.

No sensationalist/misleading/unscientific content or titles

Post titles need to be descriptive and non-clickbait. When submitting images titles need to accurately describe the content of the image (e.g. if an image is a composite this needs to be clearly stated), and without attempting to draw in upvotes or comments. The image should stand on it's own.

No spam/blogspam/paywalled/pirated content

This also means that news articles should be a top-level source.

No petitions/surveys/crowdfunding

News articles about space-related crowdfunding campaigns are allowed, but direct links to crowdfunding campaigns, petitions or surveys are not allowed.

No social media links

No social media links such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc. Exception: Twitter links are allowed for breaking news by official sources.

This does not include YouTube videos, which are allowed as long as they follow the other rules.

No duplicate or re-hosted content

Images are only allowed on Sunday UTC

Images, gifs, and gif-like videos (those under 2 minutes and which don't rely on sound) are permitted only on Sundays UTC.

Please no DALL·E mini or other AI generated images.

No low-effort or meme images are permitted at any time.

If an image is not OC you must give credit to the original photographer.

This applies even if the source is a space agency such as NASA or ESA.

No low-effort/meme/joke/troll/insult comments

No unscientific or anti-scientific comments

Straightforward questions belong in the Space Questions Thread

This includes both AI generated images/artwork and text generated by tools such as ChatGPT. Articles and videos that are obviously AI generated will also be removed.
