No obvious candidate decayer. Closest in time is probably #27549 for
which the latest and probably final elset is:
Integral Proton deb H 453 x 154 km
1 27549U 02048H 02302.51204122 .10937398 10843-4 25262-2 0 74
2 27549 51.4917 45.4949 0224190 116.3546 246.0667 15.89534577 1102
My analysis suggests decay about 1.5d later at October 31.0, but even if
it survived until 09:50 UTC the orbital plane was in the wrong place for
Loomberah.
