(meteorobs) Reentry Alert: ISS Space Junk Expected to Renenter Atmosphere on 3rd

[meteoreye at comcast.net]

The predicted reentry time was 0346 UT Nov 3rd, or 10:46 PM EST last night. BTW the +/- 15 hours is +/- 10 orbits.

The prediction was not updated after Oct 31, so there is quite a bit of uncertainty, but even if it's 15 hours late that's 1846 UT daytime in the US.
