Well done to Daniel Deak for spotting this difficult object, There are
predicted elset for each orbit on my Decay watch page at

This enters eclipse near southern apex at ~18:00 local time. It leaves
eclipse while northbound near 43 deg N at 03:00 local time, so it should
be a bright, fast morning object over pasts of the USA.

#26396 = 00- 36 C = Cosmos 2371 Proton platform
This has probably decayed already, but SpaceCom has yet to post its
final analysis. Current decay estimates are:
SpaceCom: Jul 5 20:48 +-2h 12.7 N 141.4 W
SatEvo: Jul 5 19:09 +-4h 34.3 N 139.6 W
Latest (final?) elset:
Cosmos 2371 Proton platform 160 x 159 km

My predicted elset for the final rev:
Cosmos 2371 Proton platform 124 x 123 km
1 26396U 00036C 00187.77540594 2.03681099 50000+2 92754-3 0 90109

I put decay on a southbound pass over the E Pacific to the W of Los
Angeles.
