  1. June 10 update to story -- many large metallic fragments hit the ground [NOT the ocean] in West Africa, and were found by villagers. A month later, Beijing still refuses to acknowledge responsibility or offer compensation to the affected areas. The US Space Command said the object entered the atmosphere over the eastern Atlantic, but it was still traveling eastwards at great speed, which bought it over dry land. It NEVER said the object came down over the ocean. Another Ivory Coast video of debris https://youtu.be/rStfHuSBQ7E

  9. Yes, and all the originating states acknowledged responsibility and paid compensation. Until now.

  10.  @conclaveluminis  -- Thanks for the reply and the reasonable questions. As for compensation, it would cover expenses of the emergency services which responded as well as funding for a more thorough search to locate and retrieve additional debris, especially from agricultural regions where it could interfere with harvesting machinery.

  11.  @conclaveluminis  -- Your question opened a very productive and informative process, thank you again. From https://www.aerosociety.com/news/space-debris-the-legal-issues/#:~:text=The%20activity%20of%20removing%20space,be%20liable%20for%20damage%20caused. The [launching state] could be held to be liable for damage caused by the [debris] under Article VII of the Outer Space Treaty: “Each State Party […] that launches or procures the launching of an object into outer space […] and each State Party from whose territory or facility an object is launched, is internationally liable for damage to another State Party to the Treaty […] by such object or its component parts on the Earth, in air space or in outer space.” Article VII is elaborated in the Liability Convention of 1972. This sets up a liability regime according to which “launching States” are liable for damage caused by debris generated by private entities for which such States are responsible. The liability regime is two-fold depending on where the damage occurred. (a) If the damage is caused on the surface of the Earth or to aircraft in flight, the simple proof of causality of damage is sufficient, regardless of proving fault. (b) If the damage is caused to the space object of another State in outer space, the fault of the entity for whom the launching State is responsible must be proven. NOW -- the legal liability is limited to signatories to the treaty https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outer_Space_Treaty … and Ivory Coast did NOT sign the treaty. So liability is only moral, but not legally binding. Thank you for allowing me to clear this up. www.jamesoberg.com
