Some very strange, possible ISR platforms observed over Ukraine

We observe a significant number of objects whose nature
is not clear. Flights of single, group and squadrons of the ships were detected, moving at speeds from 3 to
15 degrees per second. Some bright objects exhibit regular brightness variability in the range of 10 - 20 Hz.
Two-site observations of UAPs at a base of 120 km with two synchronized cameras allowed the detection of
a variable object, at an altitude of 1170 km. It flashes for one hundredth of a second at an average of 20 Hz.
We use colourimetry methods to determine of distance to objects and evaluate their color characteristics.
Objects RGB colors of the Adobe color system had converted to the Johnson BVR astronomical color system
using the color corrections. Phantom shows the colur characteristics inherent in an object with zero albedos.
It is a completely black body that does not emit and absorbs all the radiation falling on it. We see an object
because it shields radiation due to Rayleigh scattering. An object contrast makes it possible to estimate the
distance using colorimetric methods. Phantoms are observed in the troposphere at distances up to 10 - 12
km. We estimate their size from 3 to 12 meters and speeds up to 15 km/s.

Ukraine's Astronomers Say There Are Tons of UFOs Over Kyiv - Slashdot

An anonymous reader quotes a report from Motherboard: Ukraine's airspace has been busy this year -- that's the nature of war. But scientists in the country are looking to the skies and seeing something they didn't expect: An inordinate number of UFOs, according to a new preprint paper published...

altitude of 1170 km

This is a polar orbit altitude, where some enviro monitoring satellites sit.

 

[TsrJoe]

possibly a 'polar' reentry burnup ?, seems this one was southeast to northwest (meteor showers we see here are usually northeast to southwest)

Glasgow residents stunned as 'huge fireball' is spotted flying over city

Residents of Glasgow and the surrounding areas have shared their astonishment at spotting a huge fireball flying across the sky on Wednesday night. Hundreds of reports of the object have been reported.

The track and imagery are somewhat at odds with the UK. Meteor Network posting too :/

This is just some swamp gas explosion that reflected on planet Venus...

"--10 to 12 kms. We estimate their size from 3 to 12 meters and speeds up to 15 km/s."


Huh.

Apparently an asteroidal meteor.

Why would these be “ISR platforms”?

 

[Archibald]

ISR = In Space Rocks

 

[Hood]

3 metres long, completely black, does not emit and absorbs all the radiation falling on it. Can only be:

Dumdumdumdumdum daaahh daahhhh!!

 

[Archibald]

"My God, its full of stars !" check for magnetic anomalies...

 

[phantomphan]

Or a natural, organic, free-range Fractional (heliocentric) Orbital Bombardment System.

SR = In Space Rocks

That is... a pile of rubbish.
