Hi Alex and List,
Yep, out here -- just working a program offsite so don't have as easy
access to my e-mail. Marco already did an excellent job forwarding
the precise info for this rocket body reentry -- there is zero chance
this was anything else. The video alone is ample evidence against it
being a meteor. Velocity, velocity, velocity -- it tells you every
time.
Like Alex, I would love to have seen this in person. And as for
"packing bags", why not? Space junk reentries are MUCH MUCH
rarer than meteorite-producing meteors!

Can't yet speak to the New Jersey iron-bearing specimen, but you
can certainly consider the Soyuz reentry to be FACT. I've got
the satellite tracking code and data to prove it -- no need to
rely on news outlets (which I would never trust to get a developing
space/astronomy/science story correct).
Cheers,
Rob
