I have received a detailed report of an apparent satellite
decay from a meterological observer at the
Giles Weather Station ( 28.03S, 128.3E).
It seems to indicate that the 2000 67B object went a bit further
than anybody thought.
At 11:45 UT the object was first sighted at an elevation of
35 degrees in the SSW. It moved horizontally , and was visible
for 45s to a minute, dissapearing into trees low in the ENE.
The reported path and approximate time does correspond
witha prediction for Giles using the last published elset
given in the final notice.
