No doubt.

Information is scant, but I’m betting number 2, even though it violates Occam’s razor.

I’ve heard the Russians have been experimenting with development of satellite killers.

Ah, the secret weapon works.

Now we just have to find out who’s side the weapon is on.

I note the satellite was an old one and not critical to our system.

Do satellites have a self-destruct? What if someone hacked it to self-terminate?

“Space War”?

No, global warming effects on the upper ionosphere.

Thousands of Army 2nd Lieutenants, and their platoons, are in deep $hit if this is a GPS satellite. lol

The most dangerous weapon in the Army inventory is a 2nd Lieutenant and a map.

Given the state of relations with our allies, and hence emboldening our enemies, either the satellite had a catastrophic malfunction, or "somebody" took it out.

Methinks door number two.

5.56mm

Didn’t China already do that to one of our other satellites ..?? Or .. at least it was thought China did it, but I don’t think we ever proved it .. or if we did, it was never made public.
