Don't know about the source but it sounds like fun!

Locals in Okotoks (approximately 30km south of Calgary) are reporting
the discovery of wreckage from the recently downed UARS (Upper
Atmosphere Research Satellite), including a large piece that left a
substantial crater and early estimates suggest a debris field extending
to the north east of there.

In addition, apparent video showing pieces of the burning satellite
passing over Okotoks is already on YouTube

Best wishes
