Its re-entry was observed from the Seattle area at about 0400 UTC Mar 26."Neither Musk nor SpaceX has issued an official statement yet, but the Seattle branch of the National Weather Service agreed with the assessment.A pretty spectacular sight for those who seen it![MEDIA=facebook]id=1372295879819579;type=v;user=100011175392508[/MEDIA][MEDIA=facebook]id=1372295773152923;type=v;user=100011175392508[/MEDIA][MEDIA=facebook]id=1372296046486229;type=v;user=100011175392508[/MEDIA][MEDIA=facebook]id=1372296213152879;type=v;user=100011175392508[/MEDIA]</blockquote>
