"Specialists of the Lavochkin research and development center, where the Fregat upper stage was manufactured, said that they know the area where Fregat was dumped for certain. It was dumped into the Pacific Ocean on December 27,"[/exe]

NASA and NORAD identified the rocket as an SL-4 that had been used to launch France's COROT space telescope in December, and U.S. spacewatchers knew the rocket was coming down. There is no mystery behing the Space Debris. it was long tracked, well observed, and civilian spacewatchers had their eye on it.
Not a UFO. It was well identified and expected.

I'm sorry what rocket are we speaking of again? I totally forgot than I can get back to a conclusion.
We encourage anyone who believes that they may know the location of a piece from this rocket to exercise caution and inform their local authorities immediately for potential recovery operations," NORAD said. "While the re-entry of space debris occurs almost daily, it is statistically unusual for the object to land in populated areas."

Nasa and NORAD obviously knew nothing about this because they make a point of blowing a trumpet everytime they know something is about to burn up over our heads.
Of course there was nothing in the media about it because they had no clue it was coming.
But now they're trying to save face by claiming that they knew about it all along. The old "psychic" trick.
