Swift spacecraft re-entered Earth’s atmosphere over Indonesia

Multiple bright meteor sightings reported by residents of Mersing, Pulau Tioman, and Batam in Indonesia.

The U.S. Space Force confirmed that the Swift spacecraft re-entered Earth’s atmosphere at 7:39 a.m. EST Wednesday over the North Sumatra region of Indonesia, at approximately 3.4 degrees north latitude and 98.6 degrees east longitude.

NASA expected most of the spacecraft to burn up as it traveled through the atmosphere, but some components may have survived re-entry.
