	abstract = {Long gamma-ray bursts (GRB), explosions of very massive stars, provide 
crucial information on stellar and galaxy evolution, even at redshifts z
{\textasciitilde} 8 - 9.5, when the Universe was only 500-600 million years old.
Recently, during observations of a galaxy at a redshift of z {\textasciitilde} 11 (400
million years after the Big Bang), a bright signal, named GN-z11-flash,
shorter than 245 s was detected and interpreted as an ultraviolet flash
associated with a GRB in this galaxy, or a shock-breakout in a
Population III supernova. Its resulting luminosity would be consistent
with that of other GRBs, but a discussion based on probability arguments
started on whether this is instead a signal from a man-made satellite or
a Solar System object. Here we show a conclusive association of
GN-z11-flash with Breeze-M upper stage of a Russian Proton rocket on a
highly elliptical orbit. This rules out GN-z11-flash as the most distant
GRB ever detected. It also implies that monitoring of a larger sample of
very high redshift galaxies is needed to detect such distant GRBs. This
also highlights the importance of a complete database of Earth
satellites and debris, which can allow proper interpretation of
astronomical observations.},
