Interesting - this fireball does seem to match the track of object 6939, a
Molniya Blok-L (4th stage rocket) launched
in 1973 which reentered this morning. Space-Track now gives the reentry
time as one orbit EARLIER than this
despite previous TIP predictions putting it right around this time. Perhaps
the stage broke up but part remained in orbit one
more rev...
