#8  Odd that the most advanced(?) technological organization on the planet can't track a piece of space junk.

Where is the Conspiracy Team?

#5  Not certain iff it was per this satellite, but I did visually observe a few minor fireballs in the PM skies off AGANA/HAGATNA BAY [WESTPAC] - the balls suddenly just "lit up" before disappearing just as quickly, from my vantage point coming down nearly perpendicular to the horizon. IMO PROLLY BURNED UP COMPLETELY JUST ABOVE THE EARTH'S SURFACE [mid-sky] AS I DID NOT SEE ANY THIN FIRE STREAKS OR LINES GOING ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE SURFACE = HORIZON.

* AM NEWS = NASA is repor looking for possib "missing debris" that fell out of path when the satellite began to break up.

#4  According to the BBC

Nasa says its six-tonne UARS satellite landed off the US west coast after entering the earth's atmosphere over the Pacific Ocean early on Saturday.

The decommissioned craft fell between 03:23 and 05:09 GMT and no injury or damage to property was reported.

#3  Sorry. The story mentions a possible 'landing' in Washington state. MS references the biggest employer in Washington state/Seattle.

#1  Hookay, I read the whole article looking for a clue about what is MasterSauce. But in my own defense, I have had just a few sips of coffee.
