 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 ?
