FEMA is even readying for this.

Those odds are pretty... good to hit someone I think.

 

A huge, dead satellite tumbling to Earth is falling slower than expected, and may now plummet down somewhere over the United States tonight or early Saturday

ok, they were saying yesterday it was going to miss the US, yet can't say where it's going to hit....i think its just a way to prevent panic. anyway, hope everyone is safe from falling debris.

 

"As of 7 p.m. EDT on Sept. 23, 2011, the orbit of UARS was 90 miles by 95 miles (145 km by 150 km)," NASA said in a 7 p.m. DT (GMT-4) update. "Re-entry is expected between 11 p.m. Friday, Sept. 23, and 3 a.m., Sept. 24, Eastern Daylight Time (3 a.m. to 7 a.m. GMT). During that time period, the satellite will be passing over Canada, Africa and Australia, as well as vast areas of the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian oceans.

the damn tracker dont work very good .... I tried it. They can track santa but they cant track a real piece of tax payers trash?... I wanna see my money burning on reentry.. Gonna be a sweet show if its clear enough..

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skylab and its demise.. 20 dollars says that this one, lands in the same place..

 

So, apparently, this is all that NASA will provide us:

"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 Joint Space Operations Center at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California said the satellite entered the atmosphere over the North Pacific Ocean, off the west coast of the United States. The precise re-entry time and location of any debris impacts are still being determined. NASA is not aware of any reports of injury or property damage. This is your source for official information on the re-entry of UARS. All information posted here has been verified with a government agency or law enforcement."

"The mid-point of that
groundtrack and a possible reentry location is 31 N latitude and 219 E
longitude (green circle marker on the above map)"
