So I just checked this thread after reading (for amusement purposes) the conspiracy thread about the 'UFO' around the Chinese launch. And here is something that I think is excellently illustrated.

With the bolide we had time and place a day before the impact and thus far photographs have been few and far between - just one or two from telescopes before it hit the atmosphere. Statistically speaking, knowing the particulars beforehand, you would expect that someone would have had a decent camera pointed upward.

And yet we have all this UFO video / still images / anecdotal evidence. Which either means that (a) UFOs are so frequent, we have the worst space lane traffic this side of Coruscant or (b) its 99.99999999999999% garbage.

I don't think we're Coruscant. I'd have noticed the lightsabres by now.

Just an observation.
