Object: #2167 = 66- 34 B = OV 3-1 Scout rocket

Decay predictions:
Source   Prediction made    Predicted decay at      Latitude Longitude
               UTC                UTC                  deg      deg
SpaceCom   Nov 13 13:48     Nov 13 10:43 +-1m         5.2 S   141.8 W
SatEvo     Nov 13 21:10     Nov 13 11:14 +-10m       28.6 N    25.2 E

Final elset:
OV 3-1 r                                         111 x 92 km
1 02167U 66034B   00318.45418291  .99999999 -13105-5  26661-3 0  3885
2 02167  82.2239  70.8730 0014484 276.0820 152.0505 16.64457494436297

Note: The final exceptional elset has this running 63 sec early
against yesterday's SatEvo prediction and suggests that this was 
still being tracked over the Northwest Territories of Canada at 
10:54 UTC, 11 minutes after SpaceCom's decay time. If so, I show 
it decaying on the following southbound leg over Egypt after passing 
over Europe from Stockholm, Sweden. at 11:06 to Athens, Greece, at
11:12.
