At that altitude there really shouldn't be any plasma anyway. Shouldn't. Just by chance did the green thing look like this old colour-altered image in general shape?
"Sorry can't see the pic"
Did it maybe looks like solar panel or perhaps dish shaped? For anything to depart at those velocities in micro-gee without "something" externally affecting it before missile strike would be unusual... after, not so unusual... for anything to move lower in the orbit with any great speed relative to the primary object would be even stranger.
"I agree, I don't see how something that came off of it could come straight down without moving along the course of origin. I am curious as to whether the debris after impact would also come straight down?
The SM-3 is multi-stage solid fuel. Hmm, I'm at a loss and I'm a bit tired... what could it be... hard to do from a verbal description.
Maybe write down what you saw or if you can draw or have drawn a couple of drawings? Right now there are two schools of thought on the particulars of the configuration of NOR L-21. Some claim photos. One or maybe both will be incorrect.
I'm glad you saw what you did and more glad that you brought it to the community .
Oh, the videos and pics are all public access... do a Google on DoD. I'm not one to snoop where there is a door locked or closed. Across international borders that can be serious and I don't need the hassles but it is interesting to watch in some ways how the data is spread about.
"And to add strangeness, no video or pictures of this event seem to exist on the net other than the DOD released one. And I have a problem with that video because of the timeline that corresponds with the events in it.
Cheers,
Vic
