    I agree with Harro's conclusion that this is probably a meteor rather
    than a satellite re-entry.
    
    FWIW, I show the Pegasus debris objects ACQ and JA as still in orbit,
    with decays predicted for about June 25.2 and 26 respectively. There is
    an elset for the former with epoch June 23.33 while the latter has had
    nothing since June 22.55 (when decay was far from imminent). Pegasus
    debris GW decayed at about June 22.4 but could not have been the object
    observed. No other known decayers are in the frame.
