The object will burn in the atmosphere like a shooting star and offer a colorful spectacle that will illuminate the daytime sky.

On Friday 13, several pieces of space junk called WT1190F, about two meters long, will fall to Earth. It is expected that the residue into the atmosphere over the Indian Ocean about 100 kilometers south of Sri Lanka without causing damage.
The largest part, or even all the object-burn in the atmosphere like a star Shooting and provide a colorful spectacle that lights the daytime sky. If a piece reaches the surface, it will fall into the ocean in a well-defined region that is expected to be closed to maritime and air traffic.
The WT1190F object was identified on 3 October by astronomers Project Map Catalina sky, looking comets, asteroids and near-Earth objects from the Santa Catalina Mountains in Arizona (EE. UU.). Another unusual feature of this space junk is that it seems to have a density of 0.1 grams per cubic centimeter, much lower than that of comets and asteroids. This density indicates that the object “can be an empty shell”.
Not only
A more than WT1190F, we have about 20,000 remains of metal waste larger than a tennis ball flying out of control around the planet. It is assumed that some of these objects may fall at any time point in a loose earth. Usually they burned in passing through the atmosphere
