I'm using Heavens Above.
I don't know for sure which ones have the most current TLEs.

Heavens Above and Spacefight Now seem to match, I'm running them both right now.

Looks like it's going to at least make it to Canada.

I was thinking the same. Canada.

The fox site www.foxnews.com... and the N2YO site did list the altitude before the apps went wonky.


Edit:
The spaceflightnow site went from being in the middle of the ocean then jumped to being in the middle of Canada just now. How can you track something when you get such messed up data streaming. Now it looks as if it will be long out of Canada before it hits.

It's somewhere between "Wassat?" and "DUCK!!!!!"

You people in washington state, should see it now, go look quick.

NORAD should have it by now.
If it's still up there.

It shows that it will pass about 500 miles north of where I am in Minnesota. What do you think the odds are that I will be able to see anything?

(The skies have finally cleared up)

Not good. It's probably below your horizon.

Now it is going into canada, it passed over WASHINGTON STATE.

You're such a debbie downer lizardo

Will it have crashed by the time, or before rather, it reaches Australia?

That makes me sad. Wonder if it could hold out for another pass? If so, from what I see it would go right over (or into) us...

I CAN SEE IT !!!!
