Glen,
I find it weird that they note a time of 1h:46m, when the satellite had an initial orbit of 88 minutes.
Granted that the orbit speed would have slowed down a bit due to friction, blah blah, but that means that if it turned out to be 1h:46 min, that says only 1 station was tracking it??
So NASA says watch out with an uncontrolled satellite with only 1 station tracking it? LOL

Maybe they don't want to tell us.
LOL, I think this too....Is NASA playing with us?

I think it is significant that it was not seen to pass over by amateurs in Canada.
No reports from ships / planes in the area??
