     God, I hate to do this, but sometimes you just gotta say "What the ****!!"


     Friday evening, a fiery red fireball streaked across the Northwest skies
was identified as burning debris from a Soviet space launch. It was a rocket
body from the Soviet launch of their Soyuz T-14. The debris was judged to be
approx. 15 square meters, rather large for debris of that type.
