It could be a fiery reentry over the USA.... Prediction with the latest elset had it passing nearly overhead for San Antonio at 00:41 UTC. Didn't see anything however :( What exactly does the predicted decay time signify? Is it when the sat is expected to drop below some minimum height above the Earth? Or when the sat is expected to fully break/burn up? Or something else?
