A large U.S. spy satellite, which is now no longer in NASA’s control, could hit Earth’s surface in late February or March.

As “far out” as this sounds, it’s not an unusual occurrence.

The National Security Council states that numerous satellites have fallen harmlessly over the years. But under ideal circumstances, an unusable satellite would be directed to fall into a remote part of the ocean, preventing injury while ensuring that data contained in the satellite remains secret.

According to government officials (who spoke on condition of anonymity because the information is classified as secret), the satellite could contain harmful materials. And, it’s unknown where it may land.
