"Chinese Rocket's Spectacular Reentry Creates Mysterious Fireball Over Southern California"

A piece of China's Shenzhou-15 rocket exploded over California, causing a fiery spectacle in the sky. The 3,300-pound orbital module was not designed for safe reentry and was part of the rocket that launched in 2022. Witnesses initially speculated it was related to a SpaceX launch, but it was later confirmed to be Chinese space debris. This incident follows a previous infiltration by China involving a spy balloon flying over a US Air Force base. There are concerns about the potential impact of the debris, with some hoping it burned up in the atmosphere.
