It would come in at some sort of angle, but an East to West orbit is much more expensive to put up there than a West to East. The think that throws it all off is that it's a time lapse, if the object was falling that fast and picked up in more than one frame, it means those drifting clouds are breaking the speed of sound, not likely.
I'll bite. What do you think it is?

Why completely verticle? What if it came in on an angle?
