Tell me where to go, please...

Hello learned ones :-)
New to the forum this week. First post, so hoping admins will be ok with it.
Had a bit of a squizz around this marvellous site, and have not yet found a resolution to a personal quest; would there be somewhere that lists all global atmospheric intrusions/disturbances (scheduled and unscheduled) for a chosen time period? Vehicular reentries, debris, space rocks, that sort of thing.
Links to reputable sources would be fab. Have visited some, but not all.
Thank you... :-)

Hello and welcome,

Well, not sure about all the objects, but the link below will list all expected reentries up to 1000 days in advance for satellites, rockets, boosters etc...

Apart from NORAD, NASA, SKA I would also try India, they have been the worlds most prolific rocket launcher for decades, they might have something.

I got into trouble last time I told someone where to go.

I am surprised you dont get into trouble for your signature as it does not seem to fit the tos or if it scraps by certainly is religious and frankly I find it offensive that you are running a promotion for your religious beliefs.

You really should drop it in my view.

Well, I did look. No success in finding a record of what I saw.
Hoping that there is some proper proof/evidence somewhere.
I have posted another thread on this forum, with details and a (created) image. Thought it should be known about anyway.

Appreciated the responses, thanks :-)

Howdy Meredith,

I had a look at your other post, describing what you saw, and the photoshop re-creation.

Interesting stuff, but unfortunately not possible to answer. Some aspects seemed like they could be earth-to-sky lightning.

More than this not possible to say.

Hello,

Try sprites, blue jets, elfs, trolls, pixies and ghosts (great names...), they are upper atmospheric lightning terms and may lead you down the right path.

Been a while since I visited. Sorry about that; life gets in the way sometimes. :-)

Thanks for the responses. I did go have a look at everything suggested, again to educate myself about what is "out there". Was hoping to at least see something that was vaguely familiar. Nope.

Back to the sighting:

The light beam might have been similar to what a ground-based laser looks like (albeit a bloody strong one). It was thin and very straight, but not solid and did have an end point. Not that I have much personal experience with ground based lasers (just saw a few examples on TV lately).

I get that re-entries can cause the space jellyfish phenomenon, judging by the pix available on searching the term. The object I saw inside this one was solid, and am assuming it was/is of terrestrial origin...a capsule of some description. Could not hazard a guess as to size/dimensions of things, although I reckon altitude was way above commercial jet height (we're under a flight path, so see jets & contrails on a regular basis).

What I want to know is; what's with the hole? Why the hole? What's the science behind it? Obviously it can occur. I am also assuming that the sound I heard was the hole actually forming. "Pop", and there's a perfectly round hole in the sky, with a curling smoke-like border and absolute jet black interior.
Rates 11/10 on my "weird-****-o-meter".

Hi again...
After all this time I have finally figured out what I saw. It was the launch of the SpaceX CRS-23/Falcon9. Launched from Kennedy Centre in Florida USA, and witnessed in outback Queensland (15000km distance). Feel quite privileged really. :-)
