    The sky over Mexico’s Cabo San Lucas was illuminated by a bright light, the nature of which is unclear. Some are theorizing it was a meteorite or space debris. One thing we know for sure – it was spectacular.

    Looks too slow to be a meteor. Almost certainly re-entering space
    junk. (The lowest possible speed for a meteor is 11 km/s; space debris re-enters at 7.8 km/s.) The nature of the breakup is more
    characteristic of space junk, too.

    Based on sheer probability, it was possibly a Starlink.

    Yay!

    No Starlink satellites have been deorbited. And they are quite small-
    not able to produce this much debris. Events that look like this are
    typically rocket stages, not satellites.

    Maybe , the new Mexican Space Station were tested?
    Went wrong?

    You might note that no one, except you, mentioned "de-orbiting."

    Again proving your inability to understand the simplest of comments.
