Commercial Chinese satellite reentry lights up Arkansas skies

Thousands of Arkansans looked up and saw bright streaks blazing across the sky. It wasn’t a meteor or drones — it was a Chinese satellite called SuperView-1 02. Around 10:15 p.m., the satellite reentered Earth’s atmosphere and lit up the darkness with a stunning display.

Many folks took pictures and shared them online. According to experts on a website called Space-Track , it was confirmed to be a falling satellite. As it burned up, the bright pieced flashed before fading away.
