"Locals in
Okotoks (approximately 30km south of Calgary) are reporting the discovery of wreckage from the recently downed UARS (Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite), including a large piece that left a substantial crater and early
estimates suggest a debris field extending to the north east of there."

Sounds like it crashed before the predicted time. (5:10 UTC)
"NASA says UARS re-entry took place between 10:23 p.m. CDT September 23 and 12:09 a.m. CDT September 24 (3:23-5:09 UTC September 24). The satellite penetrated the atmosphere over the Pacific Ocean. NASA is working now to substantiate reports of falling debris."

I’m in Red Deer (160KM north of Okotoks), have clear skies and an unobstructed horizon to the south from an elevated location and, although I’ve been watching for hours, haven’t seen anything other than normal stuff.
How about you people in Calgary, did you see anything?
Cheers
