This one is on my Calendar for late February to early March: Information is vague about this event, which can be expected as we are dealing with a US Secret Spy Satellite. It seems this Satellite, referred to as "US 193," lost power and never reached its final orbit. The Pentagon then proceeded to declare the vastly expensive 4 tonne piece of cutting edge technology a total loss. When it does finally come back to Earth experts estimate its landing area to be somewhere in North America.
I managed to locate an amateur Satellite Trackers predictions on its final trajectory, check it below.
With any luck we'll catch a glimpse of this multi billion dollar piece of equipment entering the Earth's atmosphere. I hope it lands in my back yard, if not, I'll give anyone $150 for it!
