It's currently on a trajectory that will put it over Texas in what I estimate to be 2:59 AM exactly.

That would be a tragic event.

Although, it is not possible.


It's in a fixed orbit, and it would take considerable force to displace it from said orbit.

Base average speed has reduced to 75,000.

Although the cause is unknown, I assume it's because it is passing over the Equator, and the Earth's spin causes it to warp outward along it's axis of rotation.

A meteor knocks it out of orbit and it crashes in a major city, explodes, and kills everyone.

It will be passing over Belize in roughly 60 seconds.


And that would be possible.

The space around the I.S.S is constantly monitored by multiple governments, and any inbound object would be dealt with, or the I.S.S would perform minor adjustments to it's trajectory to allow the object to pass without harming it.

Overall base speed reduced to 71,000 Mph.


This confirms my theory.

As they come closer to the Equator, the must adjust their angle to ride over the bump caused by the Earth's angular velocity.

A meteor of that size would be handled by NASA or the USSR long before it would reach the Earth's region.

I detect no meteors, or other celestial bodies, with the exception of the moon and other common satellites on a course for Earth.

Base speed reduced to 68,000 Mph.

This amount of slowing was not something I predicted.
