Watch moment crashing Chinese spaceship streaks through skies over US & breaks apart in storm of falling fireballs
This is when scientists confirmed that a Chinese spaceship crash was the cause of the horrifying fire streaks that were seen throughout the American sky.
On Saturday night, groups of fireballs were observed scuttling across a number of Southern US states.
Over Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, and Missouri, the detonated GaoJing 1-02 satellite was observed.
Launched into space in 2016, this Chinese spaceship was a defunct satellite.
After burning in the earth’s atmosphere, the dead spaceship triggered a terrifying light show, according to experts.
After the satellite crashed into the earth’s atmosphere over New Orleans at around 10 p.m., fiery streaks began to emerge over US states.

People in Southern states were confused, thinking the flaming spacecraft was a meteor or a group of enigmatic drones.
Concerned residents reported the fireballs to the American Meteor Society at least 120 times.
In 2016, China launched a constellation of four satellites into space, including this vessel.
GaoJing 1-02 has just returned to Earth after being turned off two years ago.
The craft was traveling at hundreds of miles per hour as it descended, scattering its debris across multiple states.
Because of its diminutive size, the crashed satellite probably left no bits on Earth, according to astronomer Jonathan McDowell, according to Forbes.
According to the expert, the spaceship most likely burnt fully as it fell from the sky.
Startled witnesses captured the strange scene on camera and described what they thought the fireballs were.
One reader said on X, “I convinced myself that someone had some strange Christmas lights up on a hill.”
Some shocked onlookers, however, thought the burning satellite was perhaps something more sinister.
