Russia (ex-USSR) ?
Other known launching nation(s) (China, Japan, France, etc...) ?
Unknown launching nation(s) ?
Meteorites ?
Little natural satellites ?
High altitude physical phenomena ?
Very high-flying secret aircraft ?
Other ?
Within the computer software analysing these events, is there some
kind of filter eliminating the objects (if any) which disappear soon
after being detected, or which don't obey strictly the laws of
gravitation and/or atmospheric re-entry ?
