THE NEIGHBORHOOD — We've all seen movies about space invaders. Sometimes, the aliens have strange, tentacle-like arms. Other times, they look almost human, except for the large eyes and elongated foreheads.

Regardless of their form, aliens usually arrive on Earth in ominous-looking spacecraft. Slowly descending through our atmosphere, these ships are definitely harbingers of doom.

So it must've been creepy for residents in the Midwest who recently witnessed space junk burn through our atmosphere. Take a look at this footage.

This particular video comes from a security camera near Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin. According to reports, the fiery remnants came from a satellite.

Good to know that those ominous objects approaching Earth weren't alien spacecraft. Unless, of course, this Jonathan McDowell fellow is an alien in disguise and simply provides excuses while his alien army moves in for attack.
