Coorbital objects. . . Aliens?, probably not.
Every time a volcano goes off on earth does its ejection eventual just orbit earth as a 'distant satelitte'?

I don't think any volcano ejecta can escape the atmosphere. The small bits get slowed down by the atmosphere, and the big chunks don't get any where near escape velocity.
The escape velocity of Earth is approximately 25,000 MPH. That's a bit over mach 32.

@ElwoodBlues idk either but when the super volcanoe (in yellowstone) went off it likely moved earth from its orbit; further from the sun? So idk. It was long ago and we really just dont know. Did that form the moon?

@ElwoodBlues further they are far out but still orbiting objects. Never 'escaped' gravity of earth?

@jehova Wait, you're saying there is volcanic ejecta orbiting Earth now? Yes, there are fine particles in the upper atmosphere that will take a couple years to settle out, but in orbit??

@ElwoodBlues yes just saw a study about it. Ranging from car sized to b52 and larger.

@ElwoodBlues the dark night satelitte is my favorite but yes there are dozens of not human objects in orbit. Watching unexplained with william shatner
