A U.S. spy satellite could crash to Earth

A disabled American spy satellite is rapidly descending and is likely to plunge to Earth by late February or early March, posing a potential danger from its debris..

The satellite, which no longer can be controlled, could contain hazardous materials, and it is unknown where on the planet it might come down.

Specialists who follow spy satellite operations suspect it is an experimental imagery satellite built by Lockheed Martin and launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California in December 2006 aboard a Delta II rocket. Shortly after the satellite reached orbit, ground controllers lost the ability to control it and were never able to regain communication.

Satellite contains Hydrazine, a colorless liquid with an ammonia-like odor, is a toxic chemical and can cause harm to anyone who contacts it.

NASA officials say that "Numerous satellites over the years have come out of orbit and fallen harmlessly"

Hope even this one doesnt harm Earth .

Anyways beware !! Look at the sky n walk :)
