I believe you saw the re-entry of 26868, re-entring somewhat later
and half a world away from the recent predictions of both harro zimmer
and us spacecom. looking at last elset from OIG,
SL-6 R/B(1)
1 26868U 01030B 01223.94791043 .15980290 87147-5 37146-3 0 877
2 26868 62.7978 162.2069 0017566 143.7312 215.4817 16.44606988 3668
this gives a high overhead pass nw-se for the location you give at
0337-0338ut.
