I got an alert about this in KATWARN yesterday. It was kinda funny and curious for a second that this wasn't about yet another WW2 bomb, but instead an alert about... objects from space? Hah.
I'm too far north to see much I think, but my parents live pretty close to the ground path. Maybe they can take some cool pictures.
- jll29 3y agoAt 1719 CET yesterday, the NINA citizen warning app ( https://www.bbk.bund.de/EN/Home/home_node.html https://www.bbk.bund.de/EN/Home/home_node.html ) triggered a German wide alert. Usually, small regions are marked to indicate bad weather situations like storms, floods, I have never seen a country-scope alert before. Since the whole of Germany was marked in orange, I read the explanation was a low-likelihood threat warning caused by ISS battery debris (rather than an invasion from the East).
- junon 3y agoWtf Nina didn't tell me anything at all, I have those alerts set on high. That's... concerning.
- dotancohen 3y agoFunny thing is, the ground track of this debris goes right over both London then Berlin after the estimated reentry point. Any late pieces just might reenter over one of those two WWII rival cities.

- jamiek88 3y agoRival cities! What a delightful way to describe the ww2 relationship!
- dotancohen 3y agoI actually deliberated over the phrasing far too long )) I had considered paraphrasing "I aim for the moon, sometimes I hit London..."
