Hi all, I just received this report of a possible re-entry from a Heavens-Above user. Any ideas what it could have been?

It was about 50 deg above the horizon moving south to north, placing it above the Pacific Ocean. I watched it for about 10 minutes and observed pieces separate and burn up, until there was nothing left. The brightness of the orange glow was what initially attacted my attention, as I was not looking in that direction. It was just an orange ball, no shower or flaming tail etc. Usually this would bring some media coverage, either TV or newspaper, but there has been nothing. Could you shed some light on this event for me? Congratulations on your magnificent site. You deserve a medal. Noel Massy ________________________________________ Hotmail on your mobile.
