Top-scecret spy satellite?s orbit unstable, Pentagon briefing says

The top-secret spy satellite the U.S. military plans to shoot down has an unstable, erratic orbit, so it?s impossible to say where parts of the satellite might rain down to Earth, the Pentagon says.

“We can?t say where it will come down because it?s not controlled,” said Lt. Col. Karen Finn, a Pentagon spokeswoman. “We can?t steer it down like we do with other satellites. It?s unstable, in an erratic orbit. If it was in a stable orbit, we?d be able to predict it.”
