Very cool link, thanks!
Watching altitude tick down. Appears to be descenting faster and faster.

I saw something a couple of hours ago. I'm in FL, and saw something while looking west headed north, arc downward to the horizon... much bigger and slower than a regular shooting star, but still too fast to be a plane or anything like that. It was irregular shaped as well.

I wonder if a solar panel or something could have come off it early.

The altitude is increasing again. Makes me think it’s in a slightly elliptical orbit. At the next ‘low point’, maybe it’s then that it starts catching atmo. It slows down enough then, it’s “Goodnight Irene”.
