David Brierley's and Peter Wakelin's observations of 2007 Apr 02 UTC reveal a
great increase in rate of decay, attributable to the moderate to high
geomagnetic activity of Apr 01-02:

USA 193          5.0  2.5  0.0  4.5 v
1 29651U 06057A   07092.81281782  .00045228  00000-0  30888-3 0    00
2 29651  58.5004  10.9233 0008543  82.6074 277.5983 15.74231643    09
Arc 2007 Mar 31.80 - Apr 02.83, WRMS residuals = 0.021 deg

Geomagnetic activity has begun to subside, so I object the object to be late
tonight, relative the above elements. Also, the arc is a bit short, which tends
to increase uncertainty in rate of decay.
