The Space Command said it believes the rocket splashed down in the Indian Ocean, but was waiting for official confirmation from 18 Space Control Squadron.
The official China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, meanwhile, said on Weibo it had reentered the Earth's atmosphere at 10:24 p.m. ET and provided coordinates: around 72.47° east longitude and 2.65° north latitude. Those coordinates would put it in the northern Indian Ocean, near the Maldives.

Chinese rocket debris is expected to crash into Earth soon. It's not the first time.

The large Chinese rocket that is out of control and set to reenter Earth’s atmosphere this weekend has brought about an alarming but not unprecedented situation.
Space debris has crashed into Earth on a number of occasions, including last year.
The good news is that debris plunging toward Earth — while unnerving — generally poses very little threat to personal safety. As Jonathan McDowell, an astrophysicist at the Astrophysics Center at Harvard University, told CNN: “This is not the end of days.”
Still, the episode has fueled fresh questions about space debris, uncontrolled reentry and what precautions might need to be taken, if any.

A large Chinese rocket that is out of control is set to reenter Earth’s atmosphere this weekend, bringing a final wave of concern before its debris makes impact somewhere on Earth.
The Long March 5B rocket, which is around 100 feet tall and weighs 22 tons, is expected to enter Earth’s atmosphere “around May 8,” according to a statement from Defense Department spokesperson Mike Howard, who said the US Space Command is tracking the rocket’s trajectory.
The rocket’s “exact entry point into the Earth’s atmosphere” can’t be pinpointed until within hours of reentry, Howard said, but the 18th Space Control Squadron is providing daily updates on the rocket’s location through the Space Track website.

Chinese rocket hitting Earth this weekend poses 'pretty small' risk to humans

Chinese rocket hitting Earth this weekend poses ‘pretty small’ risk to humans
The sky is falling — but don’t panic!
A Chinese rocket orbiting uncontrolled — and against best practice by other countries’ standards — is expected to hit the Earth sometime between Saturday and Monday but the chance of it hurting someone is relatively slim, according to experts.
“The risk that there will be some damage or that it would hit someone is pretty small — not negligible, it could happen — but the risk that it will hit you is incredibly tiny,” astrophysicist Jonathan McDowell, of the Astrophysics Center at Harvard University, told CNN this week about the roughly 100-foot tall and 22-ton Long March 5B rocket.
