Looking at the position of Jupiters moons I found out that the satellite was traveling in a N->S direction which is the correct direction for Iridium 57. Passage time close to Jupiter is almost 06h38m which is local time.(UTC + 1h) Joost Brinkkemper told me that the time of transit was more or less than 6h30m on November 4. Probably this is local time(UTC+1h) but I'm not sure. I used some rudimentary geographical coordinates based on the city of Alphen a/d Rijn(4d39mE, 52d08mN).
