Too far north for that looked like it was heading for Scandinavia ...down in Russia Maybe ?
The satellite tracker says it's still 120 miles up so it could only have been a piece ?/

Re: On 9/24, duck.
I guess you must have seen something else because it still seems to be in orbit. I wouldn't have thought it would start breaking up until it goes fireball and dies, but I don't know. Presumably it is already in the (very thin) upper atmosphere?Feck wrote:Too far north for that looked like it was heading for Scandinavia ...down in Russia Maybe ?

I had a look as it was passing (according to the tracker) directly overhead, but I didn't see anything moving, just the stars.

I hope the fucker hits the Tory fuckers.
