Cigarshaped object around 400 meters long, 40 meters wide. That's about the size of a footballfield.. cough cough
Was it alone, or just the first of more to come?

I know there is not much friction in space, but if an object this long and thin is tumbling like in the animation, would it not break up into pieces? If it is indeed a piece of rock I would imagine it to be traveling more like a rugby ball does.
