It appears from the trajectory that it passed close to here on its final orbit (in daylight.) I would have been waiting for a bus at about that time, and facing the right direction at least some of the time but I don't recall seeing anything unusual - I guess it may have been too small to see anyway till it actually decayed? It seems that 28425 Long March rocket decayed too far to the NorthEast to be seen here, though the "uncertainty after predicted time" takes it close to New Zealand - two "near misses" in 24 hours!
