On July 25, a mysterious fireball was observed streaking across the night sky from Southern California to Texas, with reports being collected by the American Meteor Society. Captured on a home security camera in San Marcos, California, the object appeared to move slowly and was initially thought to be a Starlink launch, but no launches were scheduled at that time. Experts, including Eric Sandquist from San Diego State University, speculate that the object may be Japanese space debris, possibly from a booster rocket launched in 2010, due to its west-to-east trajectory and slower speed, which is atypical for meteors. Witnesses across multiple states, including New Mexico and areas in Mexico, reported seeing the fireball, with some stating they observed it break apart. Authorities confirmed that the fireball was unrelated to the Comic-Con event occurring in San Diego that weekend. The object's true identity remains unverified, leaving the incident shrouded in mystery.
