Not likely. There is no suitable decay candidate for that date/time/location
combination. The last decay warning at the NASA OIG server is for the decay
of 1992-088E on June 27, which was a spectaculare one observed from the
eastern USA and Canada. No decayers after that date. The next expected decay
is in a couple of hours from now, the decay of a piece of Ariane 3 debris
(1988-018E).
