The UARS tracking website servers are overloaded at this time...so where is it?

I keep on going to the website today and it is obviously busy...I found a 'static' map site but it actually showed it tight eliptically going round western US/Canada...so that's confusing!...and funny!

A lot of peeps would obviously like to access the current tracking site and there seems to be a lack of info. People are interested for loads of reasons...

Where?
When? (your time)
How many pieces (sorry Phage my love 26? I believe)

Just so many people wanting to know and it is my understanding that NASA would put out a statement 24 hrs before because they would have some idea?....
I find it exciting and fascinating and my money is on one of our oceans...However there is that slight statistic that it could hit a populated area.....and I sincerely hope for the best!
Comments are welcome but please show respect and decorum...

Might sound like a stupid question for some, but what is it going to look like in a night sky? a slow meteor? a fast meteor?

Just saw on local 10 o clock news... Somewhere outside san antonio tx... They said coming up next... But now its maximum sports (which means no more news)...

Oh fml!! The shtf was supposed to hit far away so i could survive. Ugh!

Ps.. Ill post on craigs list if it lands in my backyard... 1000 for my peice... Need to fix the truck...

Interesting second thought, since i have nothing else to go on atm. S. A. Being an "army town"... Great place to land it huh?

Yeah I get your point BUT if some people who've never seen a meteor or someone gets a kick out of observing this isn't that a good thing?...to be e universally aware there's more to life than what goes on day to day..and loom up there...even if it is space junk.....I just get a buzz out of this stuff...mainly because I grew up with all the space stuff.

Spent many a happy time on rooftops watching meteor showers...better than firework display anytime...just me though!

It will appear as a solid white light moving steadily across the sky.

Check out Heavens Above and see if it's visible in your area.

Visible in Florida!??

Somebody let me know! Surrounded by trees!

apparently we cannot seel any of it on e bay...but would prob make a tidy profit from the publicity...lol

Thanks guys you are awesome!....exemplary research!

hugs

No, I wasn't being sarcastic to you. I really am wondering. I find it very interesting. I'm on the West coast and was wondering how fast it is going to be traveling.

Damn looks like it just missed us...maybe next time round...lol!

Didn;t take offence at all...maybe my Englishness...thanks for your input!...I just find it weird that NASA posted up they would have an idea 24 hrs before it's supposed landing...and as far as I am aware no statement yet..I'm not bothered...but a statement by a civilan/ governmental body is a statement...right?

I guess it could be classified as a "statement".

I find it very hard to believe that we do not posses technology that can track this thing throughout its course. I wonder if there are some governmental agencies watching the satellite in real-time video.

Anyone able to find latest from NASA gets a prize...lol!

who knows my friend...but for the first time i am upholding their saying that they would know 24 hrs hence its delivery on our wonderful planet...now don't get me wrong...i have always had respect...but where is the 24 hr statement they promised to deliver?
