This raises the interesting possibility of a decay and/or debris re-entry near the East Coast of Australia or over the South Island of New Zealand - the pass for NZ is around 2021 UTC on the 23rd - 0821 on the 24th local. (please not Christchurch- they are still recovering from the two major earthquakes in the last year or so!) The pass in question would be in daylight but should decay occur at this time it would likely be visible weather permitting from my location though quite low in the sky. Coincidentally it is at the same time as the opening of the launch window for SeaLaunch - could be a busy morning.
