CCCPing..
Probably already destroyed.
Regards,
Doesn’t seem to have landed here.
6 million bucks, wasted!
Well, there's always a song...
In the clear blue skies over Germany
Came a roar and a thunder men had never heard
Like the screamin' sound of a big war bird..
“Unknown site”
So - it went where no man has gone before?π₯Έ
It won’t be long until someone finds it.
I just checked , not in my yard
It was last seen over Germany. It would be ironic if it landed in Russia.
Probably landed in Ukraine.....................
Will insurance cover the damage? Great my rates will go up again. First the fires in Southern California and now this.
Will Europe consider it an attack and invoke Article 5?
Did it kill the wicked witch? Surprised no one posted thst picture yet.

Wonder what Alex Jones will have to say.
Searching the ranch, will report back in a few days.
The UN use to be the go to for space junk damage claims. Donβt know now.

Oddly enough, one of my home insurance polices in the past specifically excluded this.
Well, I’m your Venus
I’m your fire, at your desire
Well, I’m your Venus
I’m your fire, at your desire
Perhaps the people in that isolated tribe were the only ones to see it come down (arrows at the ready).
Translation from Russian:
According to the calculations of specialists from TsNIIMash (part of Roscosmos), the device entered the dense layers of the atmosphere at 9:24 Moscow time, 560 km west of Middle Andaman Island and fell in the Indian Ocean west of Jakarta.

Cosmos 482 is visible as a trail entering the field of view from the top and pointing to the bottom right corner. It crosses the Cepheus (Cep) constellation. The Polaris star is also visible on the left.
