   Mysterious lights actually portion of flaming rocket 
   
   SEATTLE, Nov. 15 (AP) -- Some callers saw many lights in the night sky
   across the Northwest. Others said it was one broad streak of light. A
   few people even called a UFO group to report the sighting.
   
   What it was, was space junk, the body of an old Russian rocket burning
   up as it reentered the atmosphere Friday night, state and federal
   officials said. And whatever was left of it fell safely in the Pacific
   Ocean off the coast of Washington, said Milt Maas at the National
   Weather Service in Spokane.
