I think we've got a good match -- looks like reentry would have
occurred around 21:20 PDT (24 Sep 04:20 UT) south of Calgary,
Alberta... If true, pieces should be recoverable. --Rob

Any validity to the claim that debris fell near Okotoks, Alberta?

The video from Okotoks, Alberta, looks suspect. I have the same feeling as some
other people: a series of Chinese lanterns, not UARS debris. There is very
little evolution in the series of dots.
Could be wrong of course, but I have serious doubts about this report.

List,
I was reading a short article on the UARS where it was mentioned there
could be sharp edges on the debris. Some kind of a safety warning I
guess. Really? Sharp edges, even after ablation?

Sure, a piece of sheet metal and things much thicker can rip after the
ablative stage but before free fall as things rip apart in dense
atmosphere!
Even irons can get sharp shrapnel.
But the warning does sound a bit lame. Guess the radioactive wait for

Hi listers
I'm very suspicious of this widely quoted 1 in 3200 that is being
passed off as a scientific number by NASA.
Not 1:3000, nor between 1:1000 to 1:10,000: but 1:3200.
This foolishly precise assertation, which if you've read The Little
Prince you immediately suspect it is overstated
