WASHINGTON (AP) -- A large U.S. spy satellite has lost power and could hit the Earth in late February or early March, government officials said Saturday.
The satellite, which no longer can be controlled, could contain hazardous materials, and it is unknown where on the planet it might come down, they said. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because the information is classified as secret. It was not clear how long ago the satellite lost power, or under what circumstances.
I like how the "officials" told this story only if their names were kept secret because the information itself is supposed to be secret. Chickens. If they were truly concerned more for the safety of their fellow man than for their jobs, they would have let their names be used. Besides, it's not as if their sharing of the information does a fat lot of good. They don't know a lot about the satellite other than it will come back to earth sometime somewhere. That helps nobody very much except to say, Watch out! The sky may be falling.

I heard that the satellite will burn up before it hits the earth. A bunch of hot air but no impact... somewhat like our Presidential contenders!
Yep, but at least the satellite will be gone when it burns up. The candidates are gonna be around for a while.
