Update #14
Sat, 24 Sep 2011 05:16:50 PM UTC+1000

NASA's decommissioned Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite fell back to Earth
between 11:23 p.m. EDT Friday, Sept. 23 and 1:09 a.m. EDT Sept. 24. The
satellite was passing eastward over Canada and Africa as well as vast
portions of the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian oceans during that period. The
precise re-entry time and location are not yet known with certainty.

Cheers,

Jeff

I think we've got a good match -- looks like reentry would have
occurred around 21:20 PDT (24 Sep 04:20 UT) south of Calgary,
Alberta... If true, pieces should be recoverable.  --Rob

Possible reentry over Alberta, Canada. Attempting to confirm town
location is sufficiently close to the predicted reentry track
before I reveal its name... --Rob
