A fiery trail in the sky over Western USA caused alarm to onlookers. The trail has since been identified as the re-entry of a used rocket stage from recent Chinese Long March 7 (CZ-7) flight which took place in June. The glowing embers were the launch vehicle’s second stage breaking apart and burning up during its fiery re-entry. According to orbit watcher Jonathan McDowell, the re-entry took place at 0436 GMT over the US state of Utah on 28 July 2016 with any surviving debris falling into the desert.
