USSTRATCOM tracking reports stable pre-entry config; no anomalies in brightness due to rotation of SRC.

QUOTE (PhilCo126 @ Jan 14 2006, 05:30 AM) Those at the US Westcoast might be able to see the re-entry  Wish I was there !!!   Just saw it! From my back deck, which faces north over the San Francisco skyline, it was a bright object (maybe mag. 0?) that appeared due north, a little lower than I had expected, and was moving VERY fast to the east. I've spotted many satellites, but this thing was streaking. I lost it in the lights over Oakland (and through the boughs of a eucalyptus tree). It'll be in Utah VERY shortly. |

Northerly drift detected - possible indication of drogue effect.
Main chute deployed..deceletating as predicted. Good chute Flood control is a pain Doug
