Re: Update on Kosmos 482 Descent Craft reentry forecast

Thanks for all your hard work on this Marco.

Obs were made here , NW UK during the time period and no-show , which
isn't surprising due to the brightening sky , but there was a slim
chance we might have seen a flare.

This is a very busy time for east bound Atlantic air traffic and maybe a
report will emerge of re-entry over the Ocean ?

We should also examine the recent IR Wx sat images for any sign on the
0600-0800GMT scans.

Best wishes

John
