DALLAS - The Federal Aviation Administration has received numerous reports of falling debris across Texas, which could be related to a recent satellite collision. Some of the callers around midmorning Sunday reported what looked like a fireball in the sky.

FAA spokesman Roland Herwig said officials suspect the debris could be related to the collision, but he said that had not been confirmed. The FAA notified pilots on Saturday to be aware of possible debris after a collision Tuesday between U.S. and Russian communication satellites. The chief of Russia's Mission Control says clouds of debris from the collision will circle Earth and threaten numerous satellites.

mdm lee,
you told us that
we can choose to copy the topics
on paper as
we can read, write and memorize
it in the same time
can I use this method in other subjects too?
Like F&N or Literature?

Hi sweety, looks like you've written a poem or something! I don't really understand what you're trying to ask. Maybe you were refering to the method of learning I taught you in class?
But generally, it's good to jot down notes as you read the text. Easier to remember the facts.
