Following the event, the Astronomical Society of Brunei Darussalam (PABD) received dozens of eyewitness reports from across the country documenting the unusual occurrence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eyewitnesses across several locations provided detailed descriptions of the phenomenon (see <em>Table 1<\/em>). Fathin Khairunnisa, who observed the event while exiting the Jerudong Park Foodcourt heading towards the Tutong-Muara highway, reported seeing a fast-flying object moving upward to the left before disappearing behind thick cloud cover. She noted that the object possessed a vibrant red core transitioning into a blue and green tail, moving noticeably slower than a typical meteor but significantly faster than standard commercial aircraft. &#8220;I thought it was military <em>craft<\/em> or UFO or space debris&#8221;, she added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-9-16 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"2026 Oct 18 Space Debris Re-Entry Over Brunei\" width=\"540\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/a8Nqe3kYq6k?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additional reports came in from across the Sultanate, including Zaidah Mardani, who spotted the object outside Hua Ho Department Store, Gadong, around 6:30 PM after finishing groceries, describing a shooting star-like appearance with a distinct fume tail moving left and disappearing into cloud cover; Zulhilmi Zulkifli (24) in Jalan Lambak Kanan, Kampung Lambak &#8216;B&#8217;, who recorded the object while facing south at 6:33 PM; Shahreena who also saw the bright fireball-like object in the south-west direction in Kampong Kilanas at 6:32 PM; Muiz (19), who photographed the object from Sungai Tampoi, Sengkurong, after initially mistaking the glowing craft for an aircraft at 6:32 PM before recognizing its meteor-like streak with a small trailing piece behind it; and Iz&#8217;aan (27) in Rasau, Belait, who video recorded the intact object at 6:30 PM prior to visible fragmentation. Other witnesses who captured the event on video include Amal Lemari BN along the Jerudong Highway, Red_R in Kampong Tungku, Nadzirul Asyraf at Tutong Skateboard Park, Saddam Bakir at Tutong Civic Centre and a student Raziq Adaniy in Kampung Mata-mata, who all further documented the object\u2019s prolonged path across the evening twilight sky.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\" id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-image-7915c40f\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bruneiastronomy.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/11_202610181832_muiz_sengkurong.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/bruneiastronomy.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/11_202610181832_muiz_sengkurong-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20304\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bruneiastronomy.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/11_202610181832_muiz_sengkurong-768x1024-1.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/bruneiastronomy.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/11_202610181832_muiz_sengkurong-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/bruneiastronomy.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/11_202610181832_muiz_sengkurong-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/bruneiastronomy.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/11_202610181832_muiz_sengkurong-1024x1365.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/bruneiastronomy.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/11_202610181832_muiz_sengkurong.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Muiz (19) from Sungai Tampoi, Sengkurong, described the event as &#8220;an incredible sight to witness.&#8221; While uncertain whether the object fragmented, he noted seeing what appeared to be a smaller glowing piece trailing behind it.

Its low angular velocity, steady shallow-angle trajectory, intense red-orange thermal glow, few glowing fragments trailing sparks and persistent smoke trail all strongly point to the upper-atmosphere break-up and re-entry of man-made satellite or rocket hardware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Preliminary orbital tracking data strongly identifies the object as <a href=\"https:\/\/aerospace.org\/reentries\/101070\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/aerospace.org\/reentries\/101070\">ZQ-2E R\/B (NORAD 101070)<\/a>, a spent Zhuque-2E rocket body <a href=\"https:\/\/satnews.com\/2026\/10\/15\/landspace-launches-zhuque-2e-carrying-eight-adaspace-orbital-data-center-satellites\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/satnews.com\/2026\/10\/15\/landspace-launches-zhuque-2e-carrying-eight-adaspace-orbital-data-center-satellites\/\">launched on October 14, 2026<\/a>. Tracked by The Aerospace Corporation\u2019s Center for Orbital and Reentry Debris Studies (CORDS), the high-altitude rocket stage passed directly over the region during its predicted uncontrolled atmospheric re-entry window on October 18, 2026, above more than 170 km based on the calculated satellite tracking and orbital mechanics Two-Line Element Set (TLE). Video recordings indicate that the object underwent extensive thermal fragmentation and vaporization high in the upper atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\" id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-image-53a2f1c1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bruneiastronomy.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/20261018_spacedebris_trajectory.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1117\" height=\"805\" src=\"https:\/\/bruneiastronomy.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/20261018_spacedebris_trajectory.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20282\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bruneiastronomy.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/20261018_spacedebris_trajectory.jpg 1117w, https:\/\/bruneiastronomy.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/20261018_spacedebris_trajectory-767x553.jpg 767w, https:\/\/bruneiastronomy.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/20261018_spacedebris_trajectory-300x216.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bruneiastronomy.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/20261018_spacedebris_trajectory-1024x738.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bruneiastronomy.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/20261018_spacedebris_trajectory-1023x737.jpg 1023w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1117px) 100vw, 1117px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>ZQ-2E R\/B (ID 101070) Reentry Prediction (Source: The Aerospace Corporation)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following local observations, PABD relayed eyewitness reports and submitted video footage to the International Astronomical Center (IAC), a scientific official center based in Abu Dhabi, for review and further analysis through its Satellite Reentry Monitoring Program. After examining the data, the IAC confirmed that the luminous object observed over Brunei was the atmospheric re-entry of a nearly five-ton Chinese rocket stage. The rocket body, operated by private aerospace company LandSpace, had been launched from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center to deploy satellites into orbit. Weighing approximately 5,000 kg, the spent rocket stage remained in orbit for only four days before atmospheric drag caused its gradual orbital decay and eventual re-entry over the Sultanate of Brunei on 18 October.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\" id=\"wp-block-themeisle-blocks-image-44100921\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bruneiastronomy.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/20261018_spacedebris_iac.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"445\" src=\"https:\/\/bruneiastronomy.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/20261018_spacedebris_iac-1024x445.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20283\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bruneiastronomy.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/20261018_spacedebris_iac-1024x445.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bruneiastronomy.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/20261018_spacedebris_iac-300x130.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bruneiastronomy.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/20261018_spacedebris_iac-767x333.jpg 767w, https:\/\/bruneiastronomy.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/20261018_spacedebris_iac-1023x444.jpg 1023w, https:\/\/bruneiastronomy.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/20261018_spacedebris_iac.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Ground track chart of final re-entry of ZQ-2E R\/B (ID 101070) over Brunei Darussalam at 10:33 UTC (18:33 Brunei Time) on October 18, 2026 (Source: International Astronomical Center &#8211; IAC)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The IAC noted that while the intense thermal energy caused the stage to glow brightly and break apart into multiple luminous fragments along the same trajectory, it is not possible to confirm the complete burnout of all components without additional information, as heat-resistant parts can occasionally survive atmospheric transit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Table 1: Eyewitness Reports<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><td><strong>#<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Witness Name<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Event Date &amp; Time \/ Location<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Statement (Description &amp; Remarks)<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Media<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>1<\/strong><\/td><td>Fathin Khairunnisa<\/td><td>Oct 18, 2026 6:30 PM Exiting Jerudong Foodcourt, towards simpang to Muara<\/td><td>Fast flying object moving upwards\/left into clouds.
