As of this posting the US Government has no idea where the space junk will fall...
I am predicting where I believe it will fall.....
Look at the below map
The Great Detective Shavedlongcock is going to predict where the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite will fall to earth... See the above map....Leave your best guess in the comment section....
-----------------------------------------
A 6-ton satellite the size of a city bus is nearly ready to make landfall - and scientists say it likely won't hit the United States.
But where it will crash is still anyone's guess.
"It is still too early to predict the time and location of reentry with any more certainty," the space agency said Thursday, "but predictions will become more refined in the next 24 to 36 hours."
NASA did note that "the satellite will not be passing over North America during that time period."
The defunct 35-feet-long and 14-feet-wide Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite, which was decommissioned in 2005, is expected to mostly burn up during reentry on Friday afternoon. However, NASA warns that as many as 26 "potentially hazardous objects" could survive and the debris could spread over a span of about 500 miles.
Should the objects come down in a populated area - a scenario NASA believes to be extremely unlikely - the possibility of a person being hit is one in 3,200. No one has ever been killed by space junk falling to the ground.
Sky-watchers will undoubtedly be treated to an impressive light show when the UARS burns up during reentry, officials said, provided the weather is clear.
The UARS was launched in 1991 to study the ozone layer and other chemical compounds in Earth's upper atmosphere.
