All have it at the same place now just past alaska going right on top of me my turn to go outside with the camara and camcorder
Last lowest orbit point at 11 to 12 degree was about 128.6 Km
Orbital Period getting smaller 80 minute was 91 few day's ago
After this i'm done unless it still up tomorrow
There were reports on Twitter of debris falling over Okotoks

Are you suggesting the announcement of it's having descended is a lie? Or have you just not caught up with the news?
NASA Update #14

RE-ENTRY CONFIRMED. The Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite, launched from the shuttle Discovery in 1991 to begin a new era of studying the Earth's environment from space, has fallen from orbit.
But NASA still doesn't know exactly when or where the re-entry happened.
"NASA's decommissioned Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite fell back to Earth between 11:23 p.m. EDT Friday, Sept. 23 and 1:09 a.m. EDT Sept. 24. The satellite was passing eastward over Canada and Africa as well as vast portions of the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian oceans during that period. The precise re-entry time and location are not yet known with certainty," the space agency says.
Natural processes caused the large spacecraft's orbital altitude to gradually lower over time, finally tumbling into the atmosphere today where it burned up. It had spent 7,316 days in space.
NASA expected 26 fragments of the satellite would survive the superhot re-entry and hit the ground, such as titanium fuel tanks, antenna structures and beryllium brackets. The combined mass of the pieces was predicted to be 1,173 pounds (532 kg).
Authorities urge anyone finding the satellite pieces to avoid touching the objects and contact local officials.

It's just a simulation, they will take it down (stop the simulation) as soon as there resident tech-head gets in to pull it off the website.
