Shortly after 1 p.m. last night the navy fired an anti - ballistic missile and destroyed a disabled U.S. spy satilite . The missile fired from the USS Lake Erie struck the satilite 130 miles above the Earth or low Earth orbit . Some debris has already fallen into the atmosphere , but experts at the Pentagon say it'll be at least 40 days before all the debries enters the atmosphere and burns up . Meanwhile China is demanding all data on the missile firing be made available to the international community ( mainly to China ) for reveiw , citing that this excercise threatens the security of other nations communication and spy satilites. Odd thing about that request is that during the 1990's China with the help of U.S. areospace corps. helped China to catch up with its neighbors satilite and missle programs . Now China has ICBM's that can hit U.S. targets , and yet China never came forth with that information . That information was only learned through intelligence soources .
