    As is now probably well known the actual decay did not occur over here.
    
    However http://www.rentrynews.com indicates that there is a strong 
    possibility that we or maybe Australia could have been on the debris path.
    
    It was unwise for me to advertise to the world at the time that I would 
    actually be away from home on the date in question.
    
    Although my temporary location had very good skies with no light pollution, 
    unfortunately it was not convenient for me to observe at the time of 
    interest.
    I took a look out a little afterwards and saw a few fuzzy clouds which 
    certainly could not be  related with any certainty to anything other than 
    weather.
    
    I have not seen or heard any reports which would indicate sightings or the 
    location of debris (though who knows what might be found in the future!)
