Original Note:
The mystery is solved by the blue and white sheet of paper in a ziploc bag seen at 0:15 attached to the side of the "satellite" (which actually landed on May 15, 2017). It's actually a high altitude helium balloon from a Google project to bring internet to remote areas. https://www.metabunk.org/threads/explained-satellite-crashing-attached-to-a-balloon-googles-project-loon.8880/
