I could make out the wings and head more of an outline with no sound. Too dark to see colors. Bob Wilson
My sympathies that you haven't been able to get away from urban light pollution more. But I don't believe you actually saw that many stars as a kid, or ever, by naked eye. That photo goes beyond visual magnitudes.
The best I saw, we were over at Long Beach, on the west coast of Vancouver Island. It was a moonless night, and the resort we were at mercifully had no lights on (over the years that's worsened ). I managed to wake myself up around 2:30 am. My wife had agreed to a stargazing walk earlier, but at 2:30 said no way. Anyway, stumbled down to the beach, and man what a view: first time I'd clearly seen the milky way, one or two meteors too, IIRC . Wife finally did get up to see, was really worth it. Someone's beach fire remnants was still glowing, like a darkroom safelight.
Aerospace's re-entry central prediction is offshore Chile at 00:30 UTC. After nightfall there. Sparsely populated (far south of Santiago) but debris sightings are certainly possible. Interesting (to me) this is near Chiloe Island where Chas. Darwin walked through a real old-growth forest, with dead wood laying about in every stage of decay. He hated it
A little TG-1 overshoot could put debris field in Pampas of Argentina. That might be findable. == Owls are so slack in qualifying calls to respond to, that if you make mourning-dove sounds they might answer. Gotta get up before the chickens to play that game.
Per Aerospace, the final sinkage has just begun. Maybe maybe blow past S. Amer completely and fall in S. Atlantic.
