UARS is now officially off track! T-minus impact on earth. Make a guess where it will land!

Oh the tension,...can't bear it, pouring another scotch , yeah thats better, could it collide with an airliner?

Well, I'm going to get the popcorn ready

This is happening at local news time and I have waited for this all day!

May be premature... the darn thing is climbing again. Back up over 140km, but velocity pretty constant at 7.828 km/s.. heading in to Central Canada now. Long 115W, Lat 50N

What about the Debris range ? isn't it supposed to be 500 miles possibly ?

And where does it Seem likely to fall down at this point ?

I want to know if I can see it from SE Mich.

You are not seeing real time information.
We don't even know if it is still up there.

Yupp seen flashin lights over here in central california lookin south...quite bright almost like lightening with no sound though.

A defunct satellite plummeting toward Earth is expected to re-enter the atmosphere between 11:45 p.m. Friday and 12:45 a.m. Saturday ET, NASA reported late Friday evening.

CNN

I saw flashing lights like lightning in So Cal as well. About an hour ago. Facing south.

Yes, it could very well be down in the Pacific.

I can see what looks to be it. In Phoenix, about 25 degrees high, directly east from here.

Will try to get a telephoto picture.

That's what I was thinking,
maybe its down. If so wonder
how long until they announce it.

That wont be it.
It (perhaps) passed over Seattle, and then across Canada.

Nowhere near you.

...Or NASA and everyone else have no idea when exactly it will come down and it's floating like a floater on a fishing line!

It went right by Hawaii.
Not a flash, ..nor a sound,(still daylight)

How is that?

This source has it back up at 161 km altitude, and just cleared Hudson Bay?

All sites are showing it still up and now off the Canadian eastern coast and into the Atlantic. I am downloading TLE info every 30 seconds or so. No confirmation from NASA that it is down.

Altitude starting to drop slightly @ 142km but velocity still somewhat unchanged.

Heard something like an airplane sound but it was going woot woot woot, (New england) 15 min ago.
