    Just got this message from Gordon Garradd  loomberah@ozemail.com.au .
    I cant see any predicted decay to explain this sighting. He is referring to
    0950UT October 31. Either in decays by date from OIG, or in expected
    decays from OIG or Alan Pickup's latest decay watch posting.
    Have list members any suggestions?
