Satellite falling tonight

newscientist

"Thirty-nine countries around the world are on impact alert, as an Italian satellite falls in an uncontrolled spiral towards Earth".

"A report from the Italian Space Agency (ASI), issued at 1105 GMT on Tuesday, estimates that the debris will hit the surface between 2035 this evening and 0517 on Wednesday morning. But they do not know yet where it will land."

lmao evil - thanks!!

referring back - we in Harvey Station NB, Canada - About 9 pm on a Wednesday night - had a low level piece of space something rip across the sky from the east heading west - loud enough to hear noise through the closed windows of a car.

I have not seen a thing pointing out what this was? Asteriod? marsian invasion? Space balls sequel? [ were is the schzartz?]
