Will be keeping a eye on AMS for report a Fire Ball

Remember the last one went down over Texas

Remember to report it
Bummer their cloud here for now

All ready
Got the sky cam pointing N-W out my room window
and got a hand held one cheapy

Have cloud cover here too, but it is beginning to clear. On the first link the map shows probable re-entry in northern South America and visibility only below Mexico. You have cameras facing NW. Where are you? Am I misinterpreting the data? I'd love to see it and my daughter is on spring break tomorrow so no school for her so she can get a look too if possible from here. Deep South.

Ya this pass will be over central America in a hour or so
Maybe on the next pass it will be more north America
Each orbit is about 216 min.
I'm in Nortern Ontario about 52 degree

Your link shows well over 14 thousand space objects. Crowded skies, and it's surprising they don't do the bumper car thing not only more often, but all the time. You'd think if you were an astro- cosmo- naut on the space station you'd be "looking over your shoulder" all the time. Good luck on being the one to photograph the re-entry, that would be something.

Good luck, I hope you catch some footage If not then hopefully we can still see it. The whole world paid the cost for this thing, so at the very least we deserve a cool light show for a couple seconds...

I alway say the more and person and camera out their looking
the better the chance of somebody getting lucky with a good picture
Will be over Guatemala and Cuba next 45 to 35 min

Well the lowess it got was 185.6 miles over Algeria still to high
next round in 216 minute

Will be over Mexico and TX, OK, AR, MS, TN, NC next in 35 to 25 min going west to east
but it look like at it lowess it will be over the atlantic this time

There are billions of cars and airplanes buzzing around the surface of the earth. BILLIONS. The 14.000 objects in orbit are spread out over a surface far bigger than the whole surface of the earth.

A collision is unlikely. What's really a problem, are the millions of microscopic particles orbiting earth which are too small to track. A single screw going with 20 km/s will punch right through the ISS or any satellite reactor.

Have not seen any report of it being down yet so
Will be over Colombia and Venezuela next in 35 to 25 min going west to east
but it look like at it lowess it will be over Northern Algeria this time

quickly losing altitude over N Africa

ETA hmmm now gaining alt over the ocean

Been watching the live tracking and have seen it drop 3 times and not once has it gotten below 185 miles. Counting Trillium's post noting 185.6 miles would make it 4 times. This thing is a tease.

Still have not seen any report of it being down yet so
Will be over Mexico and Gulf and between GA & FK next in 55 to 45 min going west to east
but it look like at it lowess it will be over Mali and Niger in Africa this time

Boy sure hope their can track Asteroid better then this think
Still have not seen any report of it being down yet so
Will be over CA, AZ, NM, TX, OK, AR,MS,AL,GA next in 75 to 65 min going west to South-East
now it look like at it lowess it will be East of Pueto Rico over the North Atlantic Ocean this time

Almost hope it does not come down till tomorrow because by then
I'll be home and have my allsky camera going

Frankly, after watching this satellite for several hours, I think it is orbiting as programmed and I see no indication of it crashing to Earth any time soon.
From my untrained observation, it appears to gain/reduce altitude on a predictable trajectory, but I am no rocket scientist
