I have received another elset:

TSS/tether
1 23805U 96012B   96079.82345793  .18162638 -74878-6  49672-2 0   938
2 23805  28.4904  95.2020 0013071  71.4090 289.4328 16.26591298  4119

This seems to agree with the others and I have computed re-entry for
about an hour ago, about 23:07UT on March 19.  Estimated error about
one hour I guess.

Patrick has asked me to compute the re-entry of 23819.  Here are elsets:

I predict re-entry in about 3 hours at approximately 3:45UT on March 20.

This is unfavorable for observation.  If I am in error by a couple
of hours, there might be a chance for a re-entry over the northeastern US.
