I read what you posted, but the size did not register with me. HOLY SHIT. That is both amazing and sort of concerning that they can do that. Every launch of a missile/rocket is registered due to nukes and all, but year if you fake a problem and a reentry...

There was something way back in 2008-2009 in either Sky&Telescope or Astronomy Magazine where the B612 Foundation was upset that they no longer had the raw data about meteor activity in the earth's atmosphere. This is when NASA set up the All Sky Camera network that is on the bottom of Spaceweather's page tracking fireballs.
