That's a good one! Has anyone identified it credibly? I hope not: it's too cool to be a 'weather balloon' or 'atmospheric disturbance'.
There's probably a lot of 'space traffic' because of Ukraine. Maybe this is a tumbling stage/part falling back to earth. I think someone posted a video quite some time back of something similar with the 'spiralling tails', that was identified later as such. Although, I think the circle some way out looks odd, too neat a circle, photoshopped?? Hmmm.

I don't rule out photoshopped ect ect.Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
