    Hi Rob,
    
    I've checked in Mike's OIG Catalog Action Report the two following objects 
    listed as decaying on June 26 :
    
    1992-093AJ   22345 SL-16 DEB
    1967-092K    24807 TRANSIT 17 DEB
    
    Final elsets :
    
    SL-16 DEB    Decayed: 2004/06/26
    1 22345U 92093AJ  04178.14032119  .00412972  39803-5  10000-3 0  9896
    2 22345  70.4775 298.5202 0016487 283.6334 145.9691 16.28789060599264
    TRANSIT 17 DEB    Decayed: 2004/06/26
    1 24807U 67092K   04177.60907283  .08065264  14307+0  32070-1 0  7940
    2 24807  89.1435 234.3001 0023414 251.4842 124.0756 15.93506711822180
    
    None of them match the time and/or location of the fireball. 24807 decayed 
    earlier in the day and 22345 was not in the vicinity at time of observation.
    Alan Pickup published the decay time as June 25.9 for 24807 and June 26.2 for 22345.
