Re: FW: Spacecraft re-entry.

Falcon debris #46802 was predicted by Heavens-Above to pass S of
Hartlepool  at 38 degrees altitude at 04:42 UT on Nov.18

I browsed SpaceTrack decay predictions, but did not discover this object
there.
But in Joseph Remis' mail group message I found :
tis 17 nov. 18:28  2nd update: Current decay prediction:
November 18, 2020 UTC 11h19mn ± 6h
Last TLE epoch: 322.4497
barely before his prediction interval,

and predicted to pass in the S 04:42
