A dazzling light seen over parts of Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Rajasthan, and Delhi-NCR around 1:20 am on September 19 was confirmed as satellite debris, not a meteor.<br /><br />Astronomers revealed that the spectacle matched the re-entry of China’s Long March 3B rocket (CZ-3B R/B, ID 61188), which had been predicted to fall back to Earth the same day. The fragments burned brightly while entering the atmosphere, creating a glowing trail visible across cities including Delhi, Noida, Ghaziabad, Gurugram, Jaipur, and Aligarh.<br /><br />Nehru Planetarium in Delhi confirmed it was not a shooting star but disintegrating satellite debris. The American Meteor Society and Aerospace Corporation also backed this explanation.<br /><br />The rare sight left residents stunned, with videos flooding social media before experts settled the debate.<br /><br />#SatelliteDebris #ChineseRocket #LongMarch3B #SkyPhenomenon #DelhiNCR #Jaipur #Noida #MeteorConfusion #SpaceDebris #ViralSkyEvent
