God, I hate to do this, but sometimes you just gotta say "What the ****!!" Friday evening, a fiery red fireball streaked across the Northwest skies was identified as burning debris from a Soviet space launch. It was a rocket body from the Soviet launch of their Soyuz T-14. The debris was judged to be approx. 15 square meters, rather large for debris of that type. I LOVE RUMORS Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
