Decaying orbital satellites


Recommended Posts

Several years ago the wife and myself witnessed a object burning up in the atmosphere, it turned out to be a rocket booster, cant remember which rocket it was from as I have lost the original email from NASA.

Anyway hunting around the net I found this site http://www.calsky.com/cs.cgi can anybody work out from the data if any of these are actually visible from the UK.
