over water since the earth is covered by 70% of water so that's likely what happened over the north pacific. the prediction point was at an altitude of 10 kilometers. that's why we expect this to be a smaller piece and scattered more about. no reports of visuals that you can see confirmed of re-entry. 26 pieces reached the ground of various size. as you mention on average one satellite re-entered the area so small it burns up before reaching the earth. once a week a larger satellite re-enters the prediction messages are issued if something is larger and that's what we saw with this one. doesn't look like there were confirmed reports or anyone being injured from it which was a concern for many this past week. luckily the chances were slim. we do have some more updates to tell you about in weather that we're watching. a brand new tropical system and we're monitoring that. we've been talking about ophelia but tropical storm philippe just formed. this one like ophelia is not expected to impact the u.s. as it is anticipated to turn farther to the north. it's still hurricane season so we monitor
