Starlink Satellites Ignite 62 Fireballs Over US States

Starlink is the hottest topic for the US and Pakistan because Starlink has the features to change the internet the way it used to be and become totally wireless. However, Starlink has many issues to resolve before it becomes a top business globally, especially in the US. 

Many reviewers say that Starlink has solved the problem of internet coverage issues, and it does work in any corner or every place in the US, which is a remarkable achievement by Starlink. However, there was shocking news on January 29th, 2025, that fireballs were seen in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Illinois as satellites were falling apart when they were reentering the atmosphere of the earth, and it was reported that 62 fireballs were linked with Starlink. 

US media reports that January 29th, 2025, was the largest and biggest incident regarding satellite burning and falling from orbit. In January 2025 alone, 120 satellites have crashed and burned. Moreover, not all of these satellites were Starlinks, but yes, the majority belonged to Starlink.

It is reported that Starlink is retiring 4 to 5 satellites on a daily basis, which is the main reason for satellites burning and crashing in the US. Moreover, the US is applying safety measures to retire these satellites; however, the US media reports that the rate is too high, and it may cause issues in the orbit in the future.

Experts believe that it will pollute the atmosphere, and it can be more dangerous than global warming issues, which every country is witnessing. Moreover, experts say that Starlink burning its satellite components is dangerous for the atmosphere; it will make it toxic and populated. Experts in the US say that the world is already suffering from global warming, and they want another issue to be created by satellites retiring and messing up the atmosphere. It is hoped by experts that Starlink will rethink its approach of burning and retiring satellites.
