Dubai: The UAE Space Agency said on Monday that another expired satellite is expected to enter the atmosphere at 6:15pm and may be seen in the UAE.
The celestial spectacle may also be visible in Arab countries, according to a tweet by Mohammad Al Ahbabi, Director General of the UAE Space Agency.
Last week, a flaming object seen in the UAE sky turned out to be a decayed satellite.
The satellite was reportedly launched on December 19, 2012 at a Russian space complex. It re-entered the atmosphere on October 16.
UAE residents took videos and photos of a bright flash streaking through the night sky in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. It was also reportedly seen in other parts of the Arabian Gulf.
The bright light was seen breaking off into small parts — but still moving in parallel. Residents posted the pictures and videos of the overhead spectacle on social media.
