*MYSTERY SPACE JUNK:* On Friday the 13th, a bright flash of light will 
appear in the noontime sky off the coast of Sri Lanka. The explosion 
will mark the disintegration of a piece of space junk, apparently 
hollow, returning to Earth from a translunar orbit.  At the moment, no 
one knows what the incoming object is, although much speculation has 
focused on spent rocket shells and lunar modules from the Apollo 
program.  Visit Spaceweather.com
