    I believe you saw the re-entry of 26868, re-entring somewhat later
    and half a world away from the recent predictions of both harro zimmer
    and us spacecom. looking at last elset from OIG, 
    SL-6 R/B(1)
    1 26868U 01030B   01223.94791043  .15980290  87147-5  37146-3 0   877
    2 26868  62.7978 162.2069 0017566 143.7312 215.4817 16.44606988  3668
    this gives a high overhead pass nw-se for the location you give at 
    0337-0338ut.
