    I checked the current OIG 60-day forecast and predicted the following
    objects:
    1994-029YM     PEGASUS DEB                24585    November    14
    1979-017JF     SOLWIND DEB                16878    November    17
    1965-012T      COSMOS 57 DEB              01115    November    18    5.69
    2001-050B      SL-06 R/B(1)               26971    November    22   14.00
    1999-057JY     CZ-4 DEB                   26427    November    26
    1994-029GY     PEGASUS DEB                24149    November    27
    1992-007A      JERS 1                     21867    November    27   12.50
    1976-120AT     COSMOS 880 DEB             11216    November    28
    1999-057CS     CZ-4 DEB                   26204    November    29
    2001-032C      SL-14 DEB                  26875    December    02
    1996-049C      PEGASUS DEB                24317    December    02
    2001-032E      SL-14 DEB                  26877    December    04
    1961-015CP     THOR ABLESTAR DEB          00275    December    05
    1990-043D      SCOUT G-1 DEB              20610    December    05
    
    None of them were predicted to be within +- 15 minutes.
    (Also the orbit appears to be sun-synchronous/retrograde)
