    Initially, there were reports of debris sightings in Alberta coming  
    across the wire services. Then it got changed to the Pacific, then it  
    got changed to "sometime between 11:23 p.m. EDT and 1:09 a.m. EDT".  
    That 108-minute window covers over one orbit. It's kinda like saying I  
    live somewhere between Miami and Seattle. The phony video (which I  
    fell for) didn't help either...
    
    Either we'll find out from NORAD that it went in the drink or we'll  
    hear about it when someone wakes up and wonders why there's a  
    smoldering 10-ton twisted metal monstrosity in their backyard.
