Can anybody confirm, which might that >(those?) have been? I can send the results for the coast guards. The Proton-K rocket which launched PanAmSat-5 decayed around one hour later than this, according to my SatEvo decay list #37. The uncertainty is such that it might have decayed around 19:30 UTC. However, the inclination and orientation of its orbit mean that this decay could not have been observed from Finland. I know of no other objects decaying on that day.
