They don't even have a general area of the sky to look, or time of day/night or anything? Basically it could fall out of the sky any time this weekend, anywhere from Canada to South America. Did I read that right?
I also like how it urges people not to touch any debris you may find. ha.

Wouldn't this be a great chance to try out some of that high-tech hardware and just blow it out of the sky?

Odds were one in 3200 that it would hit someone. Any individual's odds of getting hit were 1 in 21 trillion.

The satellite has already fallen, but there still not sure exactly where, yet.

For the conspiracy folks... Everything was kept secret until the military had time to recover the "top secret" parts.
