Loeb argues that assumed high atmospheric speeds should produce strong frictional luminosity, and that a shorter inferred range could permit ordinary explanations. His conditional critique supplies no raw-observation refit or identified object. The paper acknowledges Galileo Project support and a Breakthrough Prize Foundation grant; it does not document the unnamed official visit separately reported in his book.

This preprint infers large sizes, speeds and low albedo from Kyiv observations and third-party lunar and combat videos. The interpretation depends on calibration and geometry assumptions; original recordings and raw data are absent. Repeated events, conflicting numbers and uncertain video custody remain explicit.
