Space debris from Starlink re-entry spotted in sky above Saskatoon



"I'm like, 'Huh, interesting, kind of strange but cool,' and then I keep looking at it and it's getting bigger and brighter," Koloski said. "I had a moment of like, 'Oh no, is this like a little prelude to something bigger? Are we going to get struck by these meteors or something?' So, a brief panic."

Then the bright light seemed to split apart into pieces that started to spin as they streaked across the sky, leaving a trail of what looked like orange embers in their wake.
