NASA's dead satellite finally falls, may have landed in Alberta

WASHINGTON — NASA’s dead six-tonne satellite fell to Earth early Saturday morning, starting its fiery death plunge somewhere over the vast Pacific Ocean.

There have been unconfirmed reports on Twitter about debris from the craft falling in Alberta, but NASA officials were not immediately available for comment on this.

We someone have a location somewhere in the Midwest of where this beast of a satellite had fallen it seems feasible that it would fall in the Canadian Midwest, Alberta is absolutely huge , but so is Montana but we shall see where it actually lands if people think Alberta. Probably in a day or two we will get some sort of solid answer

NASA won't claim to know where it landed until they have every possible part of it secured.

If Harper is in his home riding when it comes down, this could be a good thing.

From twitter...

NASA
A UARS update is posted at nasa.gov/uars and listen to a media teleconference at 2 p.m. EDT at nasa.gov/newsaudio

So... news conference shortly, but from all other reports the Canada thing is wrong, and its actually in the Pacific.

Ya well it may have landed in rhode island or niger as well just sayin

...What? I don't see how that's even remotely plausible given the track it was following.

Ok setting intrepid's wishful thinking aside for the moment

Do we know where exactly? The Pacific or Alberta? I wouldn't be surprised if some debris landed in Alberta and elsewhere, the thing was probably coming apart at the seams...

Really? do you know the path the sattelite orbits? Link?

Check the other threads, we tracked it all last night.

NASA was very open about it's track, just clueless about where it would eventually come down.

Really makes me wonder about our air defense network when they say they can't be sure where it landed.

My guess is they know exactly where it came down, but want to get there before the treasure hunters find it. Especially if it is in Canada, as our laws that prosecute people who pick up debris don't apply.

yea the laws of finders keepers losers weepers pretty much applies in Canada, if anything a lot of sci-fi geeks will make haste to Alberta to look for any sort of parts from it. Or whatever is left from it.
