http://spaceweather.comMYSTERY SPACE JUNK: On Friday the 13th, a bright flash
of light will appear in the noontime sky off the coast of Sri Lanka. The
explosion will mark the disintegration of a piece of space junk,
apparently hollow, returning to Earth from a translunar orbit. At the
moment, no one knows what the incoming object is, although much
speculation has focused on spent rocket shells and lunar modules from
the Apollo program.
