Default UARS comes down near Calgary - good thing it wasn't an ICBM

If Norad or the US air force didn't have real-time tracking of the UARS
as it approached the west coast last night, you've got to wonder if they
have any real ability to detect a ground or submarine-launched russian
or chinese ICBM in a similar manner.

After all, then had precise time and position information as to where
this thing should have been.

They are claiming that it came down in the pacific ocean. *Obviously
they have no real ability to detect this relatively large object, with a
shape that is probably ideal to detect with radar (as opposed to a
streamlined missle).


Next time you post about Portland, remember there are at least two,
one on the east coast and one on the west coast.
