A meteor shower of sorts...
A group of observers in Canada may have seen some of the left-over debris from US 193 as it re-entered the atmosphere over western Canada. This was just a few minutes after a missile fired from the USS Lake Erie struck the satellite while it was passing over the Pacific Ocean. The observers were under the projected flight path of the satellite watching the lunar eclipse which was ongoing at the same time. Lunar eclipses and obliterated satellites re-entering the atmosphere make for an interesting night of sky watching, don't you think? A description of their report can be found here.

I like in Upstate NY, and the night of the lunar eclipse, I saw a shooting star. From what I understand, the US shot down the satellite that night, and a meteor was seen landing in TX. Any relations?
