"Of course, you could argue that, since it fell through the atmosphere to
the ground, presumedly heating enough to cause a meteor (though not
reported, as far as I know) it should be called a meteorite-- an artificial
one, anyway."
Hi Space Junkies,
We could call them "orbital junkoids", "orbital junkites", ('kites for
short) and "orbital junkwrongs", too :-)
This story still has the markings of a junkwrong. Guilty until proven
beyond a reasonable doubt - just like meteorites.

best-selling book, "Junks from Space"
Jocosely yours,
Doug
