Yes that is what I have been using and is pretty accurate from what I can tell.

Time for my prediction:
Somewere between FonDuLac Wisconsin, and Lansing Michigan.

Last lowest orbit point at 11 to 12 degree was about 148.15 Km
Orbital Period getting smaller 82 minute was 91 few day's ago

That's really fast!
Low orbit = really fast.

up to nearly 7.6km a sec now weeeee

are they going to notify the area where it is projected to land so we can get out of the way? I talke with KC emergency management an he gave me the impression there woul be an announcement on the tv or the news if it starts falling to an area.

Pretty awesome moment right now: thanks to KSAT 12, I got to see the #UARS satellite fly over SA [San Antonio, Texas] from my front yard! Went by fast!

Got a nice view of #UARS as it passed by. Amazing what you can accomplish with an iPhone and a pair of binoculars these days.

@UARS_Reentry just saw #UARS pass over San Antonio TX. It was flashing with inconsistent brightness. Must be tumbling.

!!!??? If it lands in Lansing I should be able to see it. I'm about 1 hr and a half from there.

I posted questions on the other Thread and didn't get a reply - anyone?

I don't know if this has been covered as I have been offline the past few hours :-( and am trying to catch up!! When this piece of debris enters our inner atmosphere and is descending very close - will the area about to be hit hear it coming - will there be sound? What is the estimated impact of said debris if it were to hit land? just a small pock mark in the area it landed or a huge hole the size of a house or bigger? What is the estimate that will burn up on entry? It's 8:48 p.m. here on the north east coast of the US and it's raining (again - with flood a watch - again) and I really hate to not see things and feel like I am having sensory deprivation going on.

Its 9:31pm est - how long
do we have now?

Seems to have skipped a little due to warmer atmosphere passing into suns view, is climbing and slowing

About 50 mins till ShortBus flys over for you.

Ok thanks for the heads up. Punn intended lol

Saw nothing on the last pass over the UK (according to the trajectory sites, which may not be accurate I know) so seems it won't be over the skies here again unless it survives a lot longer than people think :-)

So much for my buck...
This next pass takes it back in to the US around San Diego , crosses the heartland and goes way up to northeast Canada
