 Scientists have worked out that WT1190F will plunge to Earth from above the Indian Ocean on 13 November, making it one of the very few space objects whose impact can be accurately predicted. WT1190F was orbiting beyond the moon, and according to a report in the science journal Nature, was “glimpsed by a telescope in early October.”

 Scientists say it is three to six feet long and man-made. An observing campaign is now taking shape to follow the object as it dives through Earth’s atmosphere, says Gerhard Drolshagen, co-manager in Noordwijk, the Netherlands, of the European Space Agency’s near-Earth objects office. He calculates it will land somewhere in the Indian Ocean off the southern tip of Sri Lanka, but will likely burn up before reaching earth. Still, Gray cautions, “I would not necessarily want to be going fishing directly underneath it.”

 According to NASA there are more than half a million pieces of debris orbiting Earth at speeds up to 17,500 mph. As for exactly where it came from, there is speculation it could be some 50-year old spent rocket, or perhaps a piece of “paneling shed by a recent moon mission.” Jonathan McDowell, an astrophysicist at Harvard called it “a lost piece of space history that’s come back to haunt us.” 
 
 Bill Gray at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab in Pasadena has been tracking WT1190F.
– An unknown object is falling from the sky—WTF?? Actually, astronomers refer to it as WT1190F and say it's destined to strike Earth on Friday the 13th next month, CBS San Francisco reports. Bill Gray, an expert at NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab in Pasadena, Calif., says the unknown piece of space junk will land in the Indian Ocean not far from Sri Lanka. The object appears to be three to six feet long and has likely been orbiting way beyond the moon for a while now, Nature reports. It may be paneling or a used rocket stage from a recent trip to the moon, or could date back as far as the Apollo flights. Gray predicts it will burn up before landing, but adds that "I would not necessarily want to be going fishing directly underneath it."
