Employees of the joint space operations center at an air base Vandenberg in California found orbiting in the area of domestic truck wrecks. Taking into account the opinion of professionals, it may mean that "Progress" has exploded and falls.
As said center commander at Vandenberg Lieutenant General Jay Raymond, in orbit near the ship "Progress M-27M found 44 per chip.

If inside, then it exploded. And if from the outside, it means that he entered the dense layers of the atmosphere and is scattered in the result of the action of thermal and dynamic loads on it during the friction of the air" - quoted expert, "Interfax".
