The sky is falling!!

Well, to be exact, a runaway Chinese space station is going to re-enter the atmosphere and burn up with its path over the western sky at about 7:35 this evening.
Not going to be terribly bright, but I'm headed to a place with a good view of the western sky to see what I can.

More info please. Due West? What angle? It happening in less than 30 minutes and getting out my spotting scope.

It was shot down by crazy American using a Bump fire AR. An international bump fire ban is in the works at the UN

Didn't hear the angle. Just heard western sky. I'm on a ridge looking that way.

I'm heading out right now. Beautifully clear sky.

I gotta say, I didn't see anything except a dot headed Southeast that was too high and too fast to be explained

I saw the same thing. It was moving fast in a perfect line but no trail Came from WNW headed ESE. Appeared almost over head and eventually out of sight at about 30 degrees above horizon in the se
