WT1190F: A huge piece of space junk is crashing to Earth tomorrow

Nevertheless, aviation and maritime authorities have cautioned pilots and sailors to steer clear of the expected re-entry zone just south of Sri Lanka.

At the moment, no one knows what the incoming object is, although much speculation has focused on spent rocket shells and lunar modules from the Apollo program.

The UFO in question was discovered by the Catalina Sky Survey in 2013 and labeled “WT1190F”.

“An object of unknown origin is expected to crash through the atmosphere and into the waters off the coast of Sri Lanka early Friday morning, and Slooh hope to have the first observations LIVE”.

“But the show will still be spectacular, since for a few seconds the object will become quite bright in the noon sky”, the European Space Agency’s Near Earth Object Coordination Centre wrote on its website.

The European Space Agency’s Space Debris operations reported in October that a suspected rocket body – Object WT1190F – will fall to Earth on november 13. “It provides an ideal opportunity to test our readiness for any possible future atmospheric entry events involving an asteroid, since the components of this scenario, from discovery to impact, are all very similar”, Tim Flohrer, from ESA’s Space Debris Office at the ESOC operations center, said in a statement.

A huge piece of space junk will come crashing down to Earth over the weekend.

WT1190F is set to return late on Friday or in the early hours of Saturday. However, the uncertainty has also sent UFO chasers and alien hunters into meltdown, amid claims it could be part of a “real alien craft” about the crash to Earth.
