NASA’s Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite went out in flames early Saturday morning. Pieces of the 20-year-old, six-ton satellite reentered the Earth heading due West, but no one -- not even NASA -- knows where it landed.

“Pieces of the satellite, some weighing hundreds of pounds, expected to hit the earth as early as tonight. The question is where?” (CNN)

“Scientist do not know exactly where it’s going to hit...” (MSNBC)

“But U.S. scientists are only left guessing where it will land with an almighty ‘bump.’”  (RT)

A few ‘brave’ souls kept their eyes on the sky last night. CNN’s iReport entourage captured some interesting footage.

REYNOLDS: “We had video that came in from Minnesota. The video from the Minnesota from an i-reporter is interesting. They see streaks popping up. Could that be it? Could be. Could it be something else? Absolutely. So again, you never know.”
TJ: “What else could that be?
REYNOLDS: “It could be pixie dust. Sent in from Kris Rakowski. We have all kinds of things in the atmosphere. Do I think it might be, yes, definitely there's a chance.

HLN decided to find a logical explanation. Considering the majority of the Earth is covered in water, chances are the satellite -- is sunk.

“A TV photographer in San Antonio, Texas, recorded video of bright objects falling out of the sky. A man in Hawaii reported seeing flying objects as well. NASA says there's a slim chance anyone could be hurt by it since the earth is 70% water, debris probably landed in the ocean.”

NASA confirms the Oceanic theory, an update on its website reads

“NASA’s [UARS] Satellite fell back to Earth between 11:23 p.m. EDT Friday, Sept. 23 and 1:09 a.m. EDT Sept. 24. The Joint Space Operations Center at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California said the satellite penetrated the atmosphere over the Pacific Ocean.”

And NASA scientist Mark Matney says the falling space debris is not an uncommon occurrence. To him -- this is the satellite’s grand finale.

“Turns out objects about this size reenter from other sources, other countries about once a year. We’re kinda seeing the end of life from a really spectacular mission, so we wanted to see that to the end.”

The panel on Fox and Friends still has its head in the clouds. They worry NASA’s outta gas, out of control satellite wasn’t taken seriously.

ALISYN: “Is anyone else concerned about the lack of precision that NASA had with this thing? I don't understand, NASA can put a man on the moon but we cannot figure out what continent it’s on?
CLAYTON: “Well this thing is 20 years old. It been up there monitoring the climate for 20 years and now its degenerating and falling out of orbit -- it’s not like we’ve got George Jetson. We can just ‘zip’ up there with little jet packs.”

RT reports even Russian Cosmonauts can’t say where it landed, but last night stargazers and gamblers still had a little fun guessing.

“NASA are warning against taking pieces as a souvenir, not because it’s toxic -- it’s U.S. Government property and they want it back. UARS cost $740 million, and if you fancy making some of that cash back online bookie are taking bets on whether it will hit the Pacific or Atlantic Ocean.”

The satellite was the biggest spacecraft to hit the earth in three decades.
