    Using my GoogleMaps (that I post for asteroid occultations) I see that the
    runway at Vandenberg is oriented at 120 degrees / 300 degrees..
    
    >From the looks of the passes from the list Bjorn provided, and which caused
    me to reload my HeavensAbove account, it appears to me I have a good shot at
    seeing this... If it comes down in the timeframe suggested...
    
    Especially..

    Problem is, OTV-1 can fly, so they could bring it in on any pass with a
    simple turn..
