Those things are so fully equipped these days, he might have seen it on his
radar, or perhaps a collision avoidance system, hard to say. They may even
be able to replay the collision avoidance and radar data now days. I would
think some collision avoidance could be targeted aft. It would be
interesting to know.

Got any airline pilots out there anywhere? In the things I fly you are lucky
to have gps, unless you bring your own.

I'm not an airline pilot, but I know that TCAS (collision avoidance)
only works with transponder equipped traffic. It's unlikely that the
burning space junk was so equipped. Something like space junk
wouldn't likely show up on the weather radar either.
