You better be on the lookout one of these nights in late September/early October for a large 6.5 ton satellite which I hear if you make a wish to, it will come true. Well NASA has today stated that the huge Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite is coming at the end of its earth revolving days and is on a re-entry path back into Earth. 

The incoming debris does pose concern however as orbital real estate is becoming very cluttered with the sudden increase in orbital crafts within the last decades or so. The NASA has stated that it will be taking actions to help inform the public of the possibility of any incoming debris so hopefully no one will wake up with a giant solar panel crashing through their ceilings!
