Report time 12;00 UTC

1999-018B (#25674) ATLAS  2A Centaur RB

SPACECOM'S FINAL REPORT - prepared Sept 27, 21:36 UTC -
shows the decay on
  27 Sept, 20:04 UTC +/- 09 hours (18.3°N, 359.9°E)
on a descending pass over the Atlantic.
My final analysis with MPM + REENTRY based on the 
three ELSETs 01270.157... - 01270.180... delivers
  27 Sept,19:54 UTC +/-22 minutes (10.29°N, 292.35°E) 
on an ascending daylight pass over northern Vene- zuela.

There is a gap of about 15 hours between the last 
ELSET and the decay time. My window (+/- 22 minutes)
is nevertheless small because the geomagnetic situation during the above
mentioned gap was normal and undisturbed.
