The decay of 2001-041B (#26609) Progress/Pirs RB was observed on Sept 16, around 03:30 UTC along the coast of Portugal over a distance of 360 km.Cited from Ron Baalke's message: 'Most eyewitnesses saw the object traveled close to Atlantic coast and saw the object broken up like fireworks into 4 - 5 pieces. One woman in the north of Portugal make a home video of the meteor with a camcorder in which we can see at least 14 - 15 pieces of the object.' SPACECOM'S FINAL REPORT showed - as I had reported - the decay on Sept 16, 03:27 UTC +/-07 minutes (41.4°N,351.0°E) on a northbound pass over the Atlantic near the coast of Portugal. My analysis delivered the reentry 4 minutes later and more in the direction of SW Europe.
