U.S. Spy Satellite On Collision Course With Earth

Washington (dbTechno) - U.S. officials have come out and stated that an American spy satellite, which is no longer functional, is on a collision course with Earth and will likely hit our planet by the end of February.

U.S. government officials are watching the U.S. spy satellite very closely as they try to predict the trajectory of it and where it will land. As of right now it is completely unknown where the satellite is going to hit in the U.S., or outside of the U.S.

National Security Council spokesman Godron Johndroe stated “government agencies are monitoring the situation. Numerous satellites over the years have come out of orbit and fallen harmlessly. We are looking at potential options to mitigate any possible damages this satellite may cause.”

The U.S. spy satellite in question is believed to be an experimental imagery satellite which was launched back in December 2006.

It launched from the Vandenberg Air Force Base in California.

Once the satellite made its way into orbit, all communication was lost with it.

Officials have admitted that they have absolutely no way to control the trajectory of the satellite meaning that the chance is there that it would go through Earth’s atmosphere and land in a remote location, or a highly populated location.

With no control over where it will land and where the debris will go, all they can do now is wait and watch it closely. It has been stated that if it explodes coming through the atmosphere it will likely be able to be seen by the naked eye.
