Thanks Alan for the decay watch notice. I believe that I saw Cosmos 2372 r this evening (Oct 8). Was not optimistic but took a look anyway. My kitchen window faces azimuth 300 and near the predicted time I looked out and saw a few typical white aircraft strobes. One rapidly moving light heading at me was clearly different; it was blinking rapidly several times per second. Moved quickly outside just in time to see it enter shadow nearly overhead at 2335 UTC. Track and shadow entry seem to match predictions by PassScheduler, QuickSat, & STSPlus. First time I have seen a satellite this low and fast; impressive sight, indeed. My location is 42.07n 72.60w. Didn't get accurate timings.
