The re-entry of Iridium 70 (1998-032A / 25342) was seen from California on 2018 Oct 11 near 08:15 UTC. I learned this
from Joseph Remis, via the ReentryWatch mailing list.

The AMS has received 15 sighting reports:

I found a couple of likely videos:

Two of the AMS reports included delayed sound, and one of the commenters to the second video reported "a series of Sonic
booms following at about 0120."
