    Actually it doesn't.. hit refresh and it shows it decaying over the Western
    Pacific North of Australia now... Descending..
    
    Worse it doesn't show any of the later tracks coming close to the USA..
    
    What I am looking at is attached for you Ted..
    
    I vastly preferred the tracks you describe, but they went POOF! Tell me it
    is an error on my satellite modem or my computer.. Pease..
    
    Mind you Heavensat still shows very similar paths to what I was watching
    using the newest elset.. Same as listed in the graphic.. 19:55 9/22
    
    Either way.. Whether it has already happened or will in the near future, it
    will at some point be beyond my ability to follow along. I am prepared to
    video either shortly before 8 PDT low in the East, or even a later pass in
    the West and / or alert many in North America so they can do it..
    
    "Y'all just handle your business and let me know what I might need to know."
    
    I'll just step outside and hunt for AEHF..
    
    :-))
    
    Derek
    
    PS.. Just hit refresh again and the "Good" graphic is now back.. Definitely
    time for me to go observe some sats..
    
    Still attaching what I captured from my screen moments ago as proof I am not
    crazy..

    You have misunderstood the report. The ground track shows it decaying at the
    above time, over the South Pacific, on a
    track moving toward Mexico, the South Central U.S.A, the North East of the
    U.S.A and Canada, across the Atlantic, then
    over the U.K. and Central Europe. So, it need only survive a bit longer, to
    given millions of folks a definite slim
    chance at seeing it.
    
    But keep in mind that the stated uncertainty is +/- 7 hours.
