Hello Ed,

The event occured just after 22 UTC, June 1. Progress M1-11 was nowhere near
Iberia at that time, it was over the southern Indian ocean. The decay
occured 2 days later, at June 3rd.

Without the radar data I should opt for a satellite manouvring burn  indeed.
But it would be quite a coincidence to have a satellite manouvring and being
seen by many in Portugal & Spain, and simultaniously an unidentified
aircraft in Portuguese airspace.

This is a strange story altogether.
