In low-earth orbit, objects can collide at around 23,000 miles an hour, enough for even the tiniest debris to crack the windows on the International Space Station. Nearly 30,000 objects are ...
A Fata Morgana can display an object that is located below the astronomical horizon as an apparent object hovering in the sky. A Fata Morgana can also magnify such an object vertically and make it look absolutely unrecognizable. Some UFOs which are seen on radar may also be due to Fata Morgana mirages. Official UFO investigations in France ...
