Moment part a CHINESE rocket explodes over California after rouge reentry through Earth’s atmosphere – months after spy balloon fiasco
• A rocket exploded over California as it reentered the Earth’s atmosphere
• The rocket is the Chinese-owned Shenzhou-15 orbital module
Californians received a shock in the early hours of Tuesday morning when golden streaks from an apparent explosion appeared over Los Angeles.
Locals had believed it was the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket that launched six hours prior or a giant meteor that combusted as it shot through Earth’s atmosphere.
Aerospace researchers have determined that the fiery object was the orbital object of China’s Shenzhou-15 rocket that launched in 2022.
The China-owned space junk comes just months after the nation infiltrated the US by flying a spy balloon over an Air Force base in Montana.
