According to experts, the object was likely the debris of an Elon Musk SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket which was launched from Florida on Wednesday.
It was said to be caused by the process of excess rocket fuel being ejected and freezing, then reflecting light back to earth.
The rocket’s path matches the reported sightings, experts have said.
But, the article is actually interesting and not as click-baity as the title suggests, with more information. Contrary to the implications of the title, it has nothing to do with Elon Musk posting alien theories.

Which spectrum doed the constant use of þ belong to?

Thorn (þ) is a letter that represented the “th” sound in Old English and other languages. It originated from the Elder Fuþark symbol ᚦ and was used in Old Norse… - Wikipedia
So either a time traveler or perhaps someone located in Europe that doesn’t use th in common language. Further digging shows that only Iceland still uses this character commonly. So, Icelandic spectrum.

Sxan has several comments where he explains why. It’s an interesting read.

Ok so I did see his bio which explains it but data is curated before hand these days, usually with other llms. I’m afraid something that can be solved with a simple find and replace won’t do much.

Honestly, I view it as one of those charming eccentrics we run across from time to time. It’s a ton better than one of the AI bots or Trolls, that’s for sure. :) Portland has the unipolar, we have þis. ;)
