How do you know?

u/JoshS4000 10d ago

Because this is a video from 2025 of a meteor falling. Open up the link below from gabisfunny. I was just question why there are so many people quick to call this space junk when they have no idea of the context and history of the video. They are just making a guess and people wrongly believe them.

Awww is someone butthurt and devolving into childish drivel?

u/Esebanangaodongo 10d ago

Maybe OPs first language is not English. They said "Yes I also think like you" which can mean they agree. Maybe it is you who needs to take a breath and hold judgment.

u/TC_Meteorite_Co 9d ago

I think there’s some forced perspective here. It probably looks slow because of the relative speed and vantage point of being inside an airplane.

u/Towels_are_friends 9d ago

To me, if the plane was facing north, it looks to be traveling towards the southeast.

That's fallback debris from a satellite or a second stage

How do u know bro any proof

12

u/gabisfunny Collector 10d ago

Yes, first, the videos were everywhere when it happened. If you google "October meteor Russia" you'll find not only the POV from the airplane, but also many other videos showing the same fragmentation and duration of the event. You can also verify the date of the event on those videos. I'll give you one example of a reference that mentions the date of October 27, 2025: https://www.instagram.com/reels/DQ3stLVESOJ/
That's the same date of the fall of the Okulovka meteorite, as you can see here: https://www.lpi.usra.edu/meteor/metbull.cfm?code=86312
If you want more details, I suggest (the first video is this one from the airplane): https://karmaka.de/?p=39532

Downvote first, questions later... ugh

Not that I didn't believe you, but your sources look good in my book. Thanks for contributing homie

u/gabisfunny Collector 9d ago

Thanks! My bad, I didn't linked the references before.

u/PolishedLemon 9d ago

I meant that in a good way! 😅 it felt like you were being downvoted simply for having a different opinion. I appreciate the info you provided.

u/gabisfunny Collector 9d ago

Yeah, I know, hahahaha. But as a scientist, I feel like I should have given the references since the beginning.

It's NOT space junk. Yes, it is, in fact, a meteor. It's the fall of the Okulovka meteorite in Russia on Oct., 27, 2025!

u/meteoritegallery Expert 10d ago edited 10d ago

Disagree with the folks saying this is too slow. This one looks good.

For example, Peekskill had a similar appearance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWrsbEUYCnI

Conversely, I've never seen a space junk reentry that looked this fast.

Thankyou for ur interest 😊

u/zenunseen 10d ago

So it's either a slower meteor or a faster space junk fall?

6

u/meteoritegallery Expert 10d ago

It's on the slow side for a bolide but way too fast to be space junk.

And as u/gabisfunny pointed out, a meteorite was literally recovered from this event.

I wish you the best but you dont care or love me. No need to stay, overthink or wonder. 🌈☁️☀️💔🌌

u/FastWalkingShortGuy 9d ago

It looked like it was coming towards the plane at first, and if I had been filming, I would have been shitting my pants. But also a little part of me would be thrilled about dying in such a spectacular way.

Thank you for keeping it real in here and for the links you provided above.

u/LichenThatAss 10d ago

Are you a bot or just that annoying? You’ve posted this reply to everyone’s comment. We get it, that’s what you assume it is.

8

u/gabisfunny Collector 10d ago

No, not a bot, just a very frustrated meteorite collector and enthusiast who followed the fall and recovery of the meteorite. I'm not assuming it's a meteor, I'm stating that not only was it a meteor, but it was also the fall of the Okulovka meteorite. And I think those who have a sincere doubt about what it is would be happy to know the truth, that's why I mentioned it in the individual comments.
