Hit by satellite fallout

[WA3VJB]

Walked the grounds early this morning.

I think this is one of the pieces that fell from the sky overnight.

Landed damn near the radio lodge.  How did it know? 
I wasn't even on the air at the time, like, to home-in on my signal or anything.
Must be that GPS problem I keep hearing about.

Paul,

What are you smoking down there??

That piece of space junk you found in your yard I think fell off your roof.  It looks a lot like the usual TV sat antenna that's in wide use.

If it did fall from space,  a few more landed in my yard too, and managed to bounce under my deck.

PS, We'll have to keep a closer eye on you and watch for any further signs of aging.

Yeh, that piece of wood attached to it survived re-entry real well.  And the impact crater eroded away fast.

[K5WLF]

Yeah, I've got several of those in my yard too. Thing had a wider debris path than we thought.

Paul,
Well the satellite must have been using 6 Meters as well!  This appeared last night in our back yard.  Considering the distance it fell, I may be able to put it on the air

Joe,

Not surprising,  Halos usually do come from outer space.  Although, your find probably did not come from space junk.  May have been left behind by a visiting Higher-Up.

   way out of focus.
RIP OM,
may you rise like a Phoenix to 1296.

Kinda like that 3-phase filament transformer you found in your yard some years ago.

Kinda like that 3-phase filament transformer you found in your yard some years ago.

This place has always attracted stuff like that.  Must be trajectory.
Like the time the RA1000 pieces crash-landed here.

That transformer is still out there somewhere. Good grip on gravity.
Just yesterday I found a set of snapshots where all you space cadettes seemed to be plotting...unbeknownst to moi

Ah-hehnh !

Late Friday night about the right time there was a huge bang like something had hit the roof, but likely it was one of the old tree branches which have been steadily falling of a 80FT half dead tree here. I imagine if it had been even a small piece of junk it would have come through the 1/2" wood planks of the roof and and been found on the floor. Combines with the timing It gave me a start though.

Pity, I would have enjoyed a souvenir, but does not the gooberment (right or wrong) demand all of the man made space junk that anyone finds on their property?

Another one is coming.  Maybe this time some of the goodies will land in my yard instead of yours.

Hey I got to remember that one, I will tell my wife I looked out in our backyard and saw a new tranceicver just laying there, it must have fallen out of the sky. I am sure it came from that satellite that broke up just the other day. (ha Ha) he he he.
