The UARS Satellite Is Set To Hit Earth on Friday, September 24, 2011. Here is Satellite Crash Info, Such As Where It Might Hit and How To Track It

The Upper Atmospheric Research Satellite (UARS) will take an uncontrolled plunge into Earth's atmosphere on Friday, September 23, 2011.

The UARS satellite, which weighs about 1,200 pound, will break into pieces and crash to earth. NASA estimates that there's a 1-3,200 chance that the someone could get hurt by satellite debris.

The UARS satellite  is expected to break into more than 100 pieces as it enters the atmosphere. Most of the pieces will simply burn up, but a few bigger chunks may make land somewhere on earth.

Where Will The UARS Satellite Crash?

That's the big question. Let's just say that astronomers have a rough idea of where the UARS satellite will take place. A very rough idea. The crash zone covers points between  latitudes 57 degrees north and 57 degrees south. That covers an area as far north as Alberta, Canada and as far south as Cape Horn. Part of every continent are in the UARS satellite crash zone.

NASA is hard at word tracking the UARS satellite.

By the way, if you find any UARS Satellite debris, it's probably best not to touch it. Instead, contact local officials who can then take appropriate actions. Also, as tempting as it may be to take a piece of the satellite, it is still considered government property, so any souvenir hunting is really theft of government property.

FEMA is reportedly working on plans in the event that the satellite causes damage in the US.

If you want a sneak peek of the crashing UARS satellite, one astronomer has video of the crashing UARS satellite.

This sounds like a real problem for not just now but also in future satellite burn outs..Some of those bigger military satellites are as big as a school bus..

This is very confusing. Which day? You stated first Friday, September 24,2011 which in fact is Saturday September 24, 2011. Then later you corrected yourself stating it will hit on Friday September 24, 2011. For clarification, is it Friday or Saturday, (23 or 24th) that the UARS satellite will hit earth?

Perhaps the military contractor psyops agents who post here regularly can explain to me why their corporate and government overlords can't use one of their scalar electromagnetic weapon systems to blast this errant space bomb into smithereens -- or is "letting it happen" part of their standard M.O. (you know, like 9/11...)

"Don't touch it"... yeah ... right ..., but what if it falls right on top of your head?..., what should you do then? ... Easy ..., Fuck that Nigga ..., he was a National Hero..."Theft of government property"... yeah ... sure ..., but how will you call it when it falls on a highly populated area, killing tens or maybe hundreds of people? ... Simple ..., Mass Murder or Genocide ..., or maybe just Classified or Top Secret...

That's right but what if it was true the satellite crash to earth & close to us will we all die and when is it going to happen will they say it will happen 9/24/2011 and we will see until 9/24/2011. just pray to god to protect us that's all we can do unless of the government  shoot a rocket to the satellite and block it. that's all we can do or travel away!

Okay, here is a simple question: What is the oprbital path, where does the satellite fly over and when? Not one site I have been to shows where it is flying over and what the approximate times are of that orbital path

you can see the path at www.heavens-above.com/ this will show were the object is currently located it is slowing down and I think it will hit later than expected possibly lower to the south as the earth spins.  I mean likely a place in the populated U.S.

ok...  it's down...  but no-one seems to know where.  So what does that say about our modern technology as regards tracking these things?

what if they really could control the satellite and are just going to use it to "hit" specific leaders? :)
