UARS' closest approach over Portland before it falls.

The only UARS pass near Portland, before it falls out of the sky.

It's not visible - you need the sun at the right angle to shine off the body - but if it's in the process of entering the atmosphere at that point, it should be burning up. Doubtful, but worth a peek to see, no?
