Hmm. It's at 96 miles and falling. The size of a school bus- and supposed to break into 24 pieces. Haven't seen a "re-entry" estimate. Hope it's as
bright as the ISS... I'm sure a nomad will know.

last night i saw in the southwest night sky a large something....like burning debris...didnt fall like a shooting star type thing but fell and burned
up....pretty cool whatever it was.Woooosh - 9-23-2011 at 09:43 PM
Went over Seattle... Unlike the ISS, I guess it's hard to predict the path of a spinning falling piece of space junk.krafty - 9-23-2011 at 11:29 PM
The song was The End of the World-by REM-they are disbanding, and my head is downBajaWarrior - 9-24-2011 at 06:22 AM
The local news here in San Diego (last nights news) reported that it could fall in either Canada or Africa??!!oladulce - 9-24-2011 at 07:09 AM

I saw that too shari- in the northwest sky. Maybe there's a large crater in the salt flats near Datil now. Don't know what it was but it
caught my attention just before my head hit the pillow. Bright orange and a long trail.
But the rest of the song goes :
"it's the end of the world as we know it- and I feel fine."shari - 9-24-2011 at 07:13 AM
Hmmm...my falling burning object was definately in the south southwest direction as that is where my sleeping tent faces and I was star gazing just
before mimilolo (sleepybye)....oladulce - 9-24-2011 at 07:33 AM

You saw it in the Southwest and I saw it in the northwest- I wonder if something landed between us
Hailey's Comet or a UFO

Wow, this thread brings back memories of when I lived in New Jersey, and I heard about Skylab falling back to earth...I couldn't sleep for weeks
thinking that somehow it would pinpoint my house and kill me....now exactly what did you guys see last night...maybe it was a UFO or Hailey's comet,
and the song goes, "Its the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine!!!" REM...what a great band...hard to believe they were from Georgia...I always thought they were from England...Woooosh - 9-24-2011 at 09:42 AM
Hard to believe, but even this morning NASA does not know whee it "landed". They are saying north pacific of USA so far. Could have been what you saw.
