Report time: 16:40 UTC

1966-034B (#02167) Scout RB

I was too optimistic about the last released ELSET 00318.454... (10:54 UTC).
SPACECOM has issued its FINAL REPORT - prepared Nov 13, - shows the decay on
                   13 November, 10:43 UTC +/- 01 minutes (05.2°S, 218.2°E)
on a northbound pass over the Pacific.
With the assumption that this last ELSET based on additional observations by
SPACECOM I have calculated with a special program the time of closest coincidence
of the ELSETs 00318.397... and 00318.454.... The minimum difference was only 
30.07 km at 10:13:33.08 UTC. Starting from this point  MPM + REENTRY delivers now
                  13 November, 10:43.5 UTC +/- 07 minutes (06.68°S, 218.12°E)
nearly identical with the SPACECOM's result.
