North Korea's satellite, which was launched on Feb. 7, passed over the Super Bowl 50 game. Pictured is the country's Unha 3 at the Sci-Tech Complex in Pyongyang in 2012.
A "Shining Star" was watching over Levi's Stadium after the Broncos 24-10 win.
As football fans poured out of the Bay Area stadium, North Korea's observational satellite zipped by the field at an orbit 300 miles above the Earth at 8:26 p.m., said Martyn Williams, a North Korean technology watchdog.
"North Korea's new satellite just flew right overhead Levi's Stadium," Williams tweeted.
"I would put it down to nothing more than a coincidence, but an interesting one," he added in an email to the Associated Press.
NORAD tracked Pyongyang's satellite and its third-stage rocket booster to Earth's orbit after the country's successful launch Sunday. Kim Jong-un's isolated country cheered the "fascinating vapor" that trailed the rocket's trip into the upper atmosphere, where it will complete an orbit every 94 minutes.

I think it’s where we already ARE with Iran. Iran also has a south pole orbit satellite, and they have an embassy in Caracas, Venezuela that may have a satellite control station from which an EMP could be detonated, just like NK has in Havana, Cuba.
Gives new meaning to Hugo Chavez’ promise to give Iran a platform from which to launch “missiles”...
Here’s an important read regarding Iran and South America - the “buddies” Obama intends to gloat with in November and December: http://globalsecuritystudies.com/Brandon%20Iran%20-AG.pdf
It contains information about the direct Iran-Venezuela flights (which since 2010 have been switched to Syria-Venezuela flights) used to transport forbidden people and materials, launder them, and give them access to the US.
I’d like to know if their space program’s task is to educate others into the advances of moozlums. NASA’s policy is.
I see what you mean. Thanks.
The Boeing X-37 isn’t used for studying the effects of gravity on ants in space. LOL
The question that should be asked is if this alleged satellite can remain in orbit............LOL!

Has the Fraud praised their “Sputnik moment”?
Commies Covertly Coveting American Football. Beats the crap out of listening to one of the Dear Leader’s incomprehensible Castro-like, hours long speeches about how great he is and how great life in No. Korea is for the masses.
My name is Vijger. Nice to met you earthlings.
Is it really in a retrograde orbit? Looking at its orbit, it is going opposite of other spacecraft.
Satellite fly over?
What did they expect it to do, tunnel under it like a gopher?
I guess if it’s orbit would have sent it over the folks in any town USA it wouldn’t have been a big deal. I guess those in the San Francisco Bay area are special.
Bump
Pray it doesn’t hurt anyone
It appears to be in the same orbit that U.S. spy satellites use. It’s called a sun-synchronous orbit. The satellite passes over the same site at the same time of day so the shadows on the ground are the same. So taking photos of the ground on successive days with shadows the same, any changes will stand out in the photo.
Testing a FOBS?
Well, that's the reason the US panicked when the USSR was first to put a satellite into orbit back in the 50s. Not so much that the little satellite was going to disgorge a nuke and drop it on us, but that the satellite itself was a nuke; i.e., once you have a satellite in orbit, you have the ability in principle to bring it down on any point on earth it happens to pass over. Polar orbits are particularly effective in that regard because they take a satellite over almost every point on earth as the earth rotates beneath it.
I like that! Hope we have something really tracking it well. Don’t trust those nuts!
