Man Captures Rocket Debris Falling Through Earth’s Atmosphere On Camera

Allen captured video of the moment he witnessed a SpaceX rocket crash into Earth’s atmosphere. Apparently, the rocket was unable to complete its orbit start after it had done its job of putting satellites into orbit. That’s when Allen, the realtor who was making his day, saw the stars fall.
He captured the moment and uploaded it to Twitter, which obviously went viral. Although the moment itself is magical enough to make a person shudder, what happened next was even more exciting.

In his viral video on Twitter, Allen was approached by hundreds in his DMs, but it was a guy named Roman who made the difference. Roman was a financial advisor from the Bay Area looking to partner with a real estate agent and wanted to exchange referrals.
Nearly two years later, this partnership has led to new developments in the Oregon real estate business. He shared in a post that he recalls the day he posted the video: “2 years ago, I walked out on a balmy Oregon afternoon and looked up to see the most incredible thing I had ever witnessed.”
Allen added, “Almost 2 years later, the quintessential SE Portland craftsman on the second slide now belongs to Katz and Hayley, Roman’s best friends and new Oregonians!” It turns out that even though the sparks of light in the sky had nothing to do with magic, they ended up being a miracle.

The debris likely belonged to the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, which exploded over the skies of Oregon in 2021 and confused many stargazers into thinking the spectacular explosion that lit up the night was a meteor shower or something galactic.
James Davenport, an astronomer at the University of Washington, explained: “This was the top end, what we call the second stage, of a Falcon 9 rocket. It actually launched about three weeks ago and it did exactly what it was supposed to. do: put satellites into orbit.”
He continued: “The only flaw it had was that it didn’t complete its deorbit burn, so it didn’t come down when and where we expected. She has been waiting to drop for the last three weeks and we got lucky and it came crashing down on us.”
