WASHINGTON (AP) - Government officials say a large U.S. spy
satellite has lost power and propulsion and could hit the Earth in
late February or March.
The officials say the satellite could contain hazardous
materials and it is unknown where on the planet it might come down.
A spokesman for the National Security Council says government
agencies are monitoring the situation. But he would not comment on
whether it might be possible for the satellite to be shot down by a
missile.
A senior government official says that lawmakers and other
nations are being kept apprised of the situation.
