Streaks in Montana sky believed to be old Russian rocket fuel tank

Experts said streaks seen in the sky over Montana were most likely from a piece of an old Russian rocket returning to Earth.

Witnesses captured video and photos about 10 p.m. Tuesday, when flaming objects streaked across the sky over Montana and were seen as far away as Idaho, Wyoming and Oregon.

Researchers with SpaceWeather.com said the streaks were most likely space junk -- specifically the fuel tank from a Russian rocket.

"Shortly before the explosion over Montana, the U.S. Department of Defense Space Track website issued a Trajectory Impact Prediction message for an object," the website said.

The object, a Breeze-M fuel tank, was part of Russia's Yamal 402 geostationary communications satellite. The tank has been orbiting since the Dec. 8, 2012, launch, SpaceWeather.com said.

Ryan Hannahoe, executive director of the Montana Learning Center at Canyon Ferry, said there were no reports of fuel tank pieces making landfall, indicating it completely burned up in the atmosphere.

We spent untold billions to protect from Russian missiles and now they’re flying over Montana.

“Isn’t this an act of war?”

If Gravity is the antagonist, yeah.

But, sofar as I know, the Russians never invested in equipping any of their inert space junk to be strategically de-orbited.

The only reason it got up there in the first place is because traitors in this country sold them the technology. You can argue that the American taxpayers paid for the technology, so it’s ours anyway!

I scanned the headline and thought it said, “steaks”.

Now I’m hungry.

There are streaks in the Montana sky from old rocket fuel tanks. However, there also are streaks in Joe Biden’s Depends from his brain farts.

Which is more of a danger to us??

Montana is where winter goes for its summer holiday.
