Nothing predicted to come down for another few more days. You could enter these items into heavens-above and see if they even get that far north. I would guess maybe the debris from the ISS? Check to see if it passed over your location at about the right time (it would have come by a few minutes earlier than expected if it was lower than expected. But at least you can see if the plane of the orbit was over your location at that time. - george On 10/06/2017 08:53 PM, hehehe--- via Seesat-l wrote: > Hi! > > A night sky observer for about 30 years now, I think > I have seen the first reentry event in my life! :) > > 2017 Oct. 6 - 20:19UT +-1min > Observation north of Berlin (Basdorf) 52.724926N , 13.440637E > > The object followed a looong trajectory and "fell" roughly from Zenit to NNE. > I've seen the part from below Cassiopeia to extinction close to the NNE horizon. > Speed was slow.
