WASHINGTON - A large U.S. spy satellite has lost power and could hit the Earth in late February or 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.

I'm sure they'll just have a search warrant and another to just take it... after all, they do own it :o

I may be talking crap right? :biggrin:

The USAF accidentally dropped an atomic bomb on a mans property somewhere in the US. I forget if they retrieved it or not, but afterwards the government offered the man millions for his worthless property. He did not accept the money though and there was a big radioactive hole near his home. IMO he should have accepted. If it lands on your house just hold on until they offer you a ridiculous amount.

"...Believed to be Al Queda"

"Al Queda sent a EMP to the sattelite...."

"Al Queda Broke my Coffee Ma...wrong paper, WHERES THE PAPER FOR TODAYS REPORT?"

Or dead, it has Hydrazine in it and if it doesn't burn up when it hits re-entering the atmosphere I wouldn't want it landing anywhere near me.
