The final (so far) elset for this object is:
C 2349 Soyuz r                                   142 x 131 km
1 25168U 98009B   98052.30906967  .21315776  42659-5  19874-3 0   246
2 25168  70.3551 337.6061 0008646 102.1916 257.9843 16.51131316   630

This is 2.4 seconds early against my final "9019" SatEvo evolution,
posted here eight hours before. The other three non-superceded elsets
published in the meantime had residuals of less than 0.3 seconds.

I compute that it decayed in daylight near or soon after to the
following northbound equator crossing at 08:52 UTC at 53 deg E
longitude, which is over the W Indian Ocean, just N of the Seychelles.
